Find the numerical equivalent of 25 ⋅2−2 (1 point)

Question

2 2
8 8
16 16
128

Answer 1

To solve the expression \( 25 \cdot 2^{-2} \), we can break down the calculations step by step.

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. Multiply \( 25 \) by \( \frac{1}{4} \): \[ 25 \cdot \frac{1}{4} = \frac{25}{4} = 6.25 \]

Since \( 6.25 \) does not appear to match any of the options given (2, 8, 16, 128), it seems there may be a misunderstanding. Could you please check if any other context or additional option values are provided?
