Answer 1

To find the numerical equivalent of \( 25 \cdot 2^{-2} \):

1. First, calculate \( 2^{-2} \): \[ 2^{-2} = \frac{1}{2^2} = \frac{1}{4} \]

2. Then, multiply \( 25 \) by \( \frac{1}{4} \): \[ 25 \cdot \frac{1}{4} = \frac{25}{4} \]

3. Converting \( \frac{25}{4} \) to a decimal or mixed number: \[ \frac{25}{4} = 6.25 \]

None of the provided responses (2, 128, 8, 16) match this result. However, if you meant to express the evaluation in another way, please clarify.

The correct answer for \( 25 \cdot 2^{-2} \) is \( 6.25 \).
