To simplify \( 25 \frac{1}{2} \), you first convert the mixed number into an improper fraction:
1. \( 25 \frac{1}{2} = 25 + \frac{1}{2} = \frac{50}{2} + \frac{1}{2} = \frac{50 + 1}{2} = \frac{51}{2} \).
So the simplest form of \( 25 \frac{1}{2} \) is \( \frac{51}{2} \) or 25.5.
Looking at the given options:
1. \( \sqrt{25} \) (which is \( 5 \)) does not represent \( 25 \frac{1}{2} \).
2. \( 5 \) is not the simplest form of \( 25 \frac{1}{2} \).
3. \( 12.5 \) is incorrect, as it's equivalent to \( \frac{25}{2} \).
4. \( \sqrt{25} \frac{1}{2} \) is not a correct representation either.
None of the provided options exactly reflects the simplest form of \( 25 \frac{1}{2} \). The true simplest form is \( \frac{51}{2} \) or \( 25.5 \).
