Answer 1

To rewrite \( 25 \frac{1}{4} \) using a root, we can express it as follows:

1. First, convert \( 25 \frac{1}{4} \) to an improper fraction:

\[
25 \frac{1}{4} = \frac{25 \cdot 4 + 1}{4} = \frac{100 + 1}{4} = \frac{101}{4}
\]

2. Now recognize that \( 25 \) can be written as \( 5^2 \). Therefore, we have:

\[
25 \frac{1}{4} = \frac{25^{1}}{4^{1}} = \frac{(5^2)^{1/4}}{1^{1}} = 5^{2/4} = 5^{1/2} = \sqrt{5}
\]

However, this doesn't strictly translate to the options provided.

Let's analyze the closest option from what's given:

The best way to express \( 25 \frac{1}{4} \) using roots in the context of the options provided is:

\[
\text{root index } \frac{1}{4} \text{ root of } 25 \quad \text{which is} \quad \sqrt[4]{25}
\]

Thus, the correct response corresponding to rewriting \( 25 \frac{1}{4} \) using a root is:

**root index Start Fraction 1 over 4 End Fraction Start Root 25 End Root.**
