To find the numerical equivalent of \( 25 \cdot 2^{-2} \), we can first simplify the expression:
1. Calculate \( 2^{-2} \):
\[
2^{-2} = \frac{1}{2^2} = \frac{1}{4}
\]
2. Now substitute \( 2^{-2} \) back into the expression:
\[
25 \cdot 2^{-2} = 25 \cdot \frac{1}{4}
\]
3. Perform the multiplication:
\[
25 \cdot \frac{1}{4} = \frac{25}{4} = 6.25
\]
Since 6.25 is not one of the options given, let's make sure we read the initial value and operation again correctly.
The expression \( 25 \cdot 2^{-2} \) evaluates to 6.25, which must not have been among your provided choices. However, if we assume there's a mistake in the options, we clarify the correct answer is indeed 6.25, or if the interpretation of the prompt should have offered those particular options directly from calculations at different values entirely.
Would you like assistance in revisiting the parameters or reassessing any misconceptions in scenario values tied to the numbers listed?
