To find the numerical equivalent of \( 25 \cdot 2^{-2} \), we can first simplify the expression.

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

  2. Now substitute this back into the expression: \[ 25 \cdot 2^{-2} = 25 \cdot \frac{1}{4} \]

  3. Perform the multiplication: \[ 25 \cdot \frac{1}{4} = \frac{25}{4} = 6.25 \]

Since none of the answer choices (A, B, C, D) correspond to \( 6.25 \), it appears that there may be an issue with the provided options.

If we consider the conversion of fractions to different scenarios based on whole numbers, none can match \( 6.25 \). Therefore, it seems the answer is not present in the given choices. If you need to round or transform numbers differently based on the format given (A. 2, B. 128, C. 8, D. 16), let me know for further checks or corrections.
