Let's break down the expressions one by one.
1. **1/2 x 5 = 5 x 1/2**: This expression illustrates the commutative property of multiplication, which states that the order of multiplication does not affect the result. Both sides of the equation equal \(2.5\):
\[
1/2 x 5 = 2.5
\]
\[
5 x 1/2 = 2.5
\]
2. **1/2 1/2 1/2 1/2 1/2 = ____ or ____**: This implies multiplying \(1/2\) by itself five times:
\[
1/2 \times 1/2 \times 1/2 \times 1/2 \times 1/2 = (1/2)^5 = \frac{1}{32}
\]
This can also be expressed as \( \frac{1}{2^5} \) or \( \frac{1}{32} \).
3. **___ or 5**: Your question suggests that you want to relate \( \frac{1}{32} \) to "5" in some way. If we consider something like \( 5 \times \frac{1}{32} \), we could think of how \( 5 \times \frac{1}{32} \) comes close to other fractions or structures, but it doesn't realistically complete the phrase as organized by the earlier responses.
Instead, it might refer to expressing \(5\) as a combination involving the fractions/pieces you provided earlier. However, it might not clearly connect unless specific arithmetic relationships or ratios are introduced.
So the breakdown yields:
\[
1/2 \times 1/2 \times 1/2 \times 1/2 \times 1/2 = \frac{1}{32} \text{ or } 0.03125.
\]
The third blank can illustrate that they don't inherently relate to \(5\) without defined operations or links –\[ 5 \text{ can also stand by itself.}\]
To finalize:
1/2 x 5 = 5 x 1/2;
1/2 1/2 1/2 1/2 1/2 = 1/32 or 0.03125;
As associating to "___ or 5", it might underscore potential range/contrast or contextual applications considered in sets/forward links otherwise.

Sure! Here are the answers:
1. **1/2 1/2 1/2 1/2 1/2 =** \(\frac{1}{32}\) or \(0.03125\)
2. **___ or 5**: \(\frac{1}{32}\) or \(5\) (it doesn't directly lead to a valid mathematical relationship in a straightforward way).
Let me know if you need anything else!
