To simplify \( 25 \frac{1}{2} \), you can first convert the mixed number into an improper fraction or a decimal.
1. As a decimal:
\[
25 \frac{1}{2} = 25 + 0.5 = 25.5
\]
2. As an improper fraction:
\[
25 \frac{1}{2} = \frac{25 \times 2 + 1}{2} = \frac{50 + 1}{2} = \frac{51}{2}
\]
Now, we should see which of the given options: 625, 75, 37.5, or 125 could relate to this value.
For the decimal \( 25.5 \):
- **625** is too large.
- **75** seems too large as well.
- **37.5** is too small.
- **125** is also too large.
It appears that none of the provided numbers is a direct simplification of \( 25 \frac{1}{2} \) as values 625, 75, 37.5, 125. If you wanted to simplify or reduce the expression in another mathematical sense, please clarify, or if you need any other calculations with these numbers.
If you're asking for the numerical simplification or percentage (for example), that also would apply. Please provide additional context if helpful!
