One-half of the students in a school are girls.One-seventh girls 5th grade what fraction 5th-grade girls?

Let the total number of students in the school be $S$.

One-half of the students are girls, so the number of girls is $\frac{1}{2}S$.

One-seventh of the girls are in 5th grade. So the number of 5th-grade girls is $\frac{1}{7}$ of $\frac{1}{2}S$.

The fraction of 5th-grade girls out of the total number of students is:

$$ \frac{1}{7} \times \frac{1}{2} S = \frac{1}{14} S $$

The fraction of 5th-grade girls out of the total number of students is $\frac{1}{14}$.

To find the fraction of 5th-grade girls out of the total number of girls, we have:

Number of 5th grade girls = $\frac{1}{7} \times \frac{1}{2}S = \frac{1}{14}S$

Number of girls = $\frac{1}{2}S$

Fraction of 5th-grade girls out of the total number of girls is:

$$ \frac{\frac{1}{14}S}{\frac{1}{2}S} = \frac{1}{14} \times \frac{2}{1} = \frac{2}{14} = \frac{1}{7} $$

Thus, $\frac{1}{7}$ of the girls are in 5th grade.

The fraction of 5th-grade girls is $\frac{1}{7}$ of the girls, which is $\frac{1}{7}$ of $\frac{1}{2}$ of the total number of students.

Therefore, the fraction of 5th-grade girls is:

$$ \frac{1}{7} \times \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{14} $$

The fraction of 5th-grade girls in the school is $\frac{1}{14}$.

Final Answer: The final answer is $\boxed{1/14}$
