Lee is correct.
To check if 10÷5 is equal to 5×5, we can use the property of division called the division property of equality. This property states that if a=b, then a/c=b/c, as long as c is not equal to 0.
In this case, 5×5=25. So, if we divide 25 by 5, we get 5. Therefore, 10÷5 is indeed equal to 5×5.
