Question 22

0.625

The expression 2.50 multiplied by 0.25 simplifies to 0.625. This result is obtained by performing the multiplication directly.

A) 6.25

This option is incorrect because multiplying 2.50 by 0.25 does not yield 6.25. Instead, it is significantly smaller, as 0.25 is a quarter of 1, and multiplying it by 2.50 results in a value less than 1.

B) 0.0625

This option is also incorrect. The value of 0.0625 is actually the product of 2.50 and 0.025, not 0.25. Thus, it does not represent the correct multiplication of the given numbers.

C) 6.025

This choice is incorrect as well. The result of multiplying 2.50 by 0.25 does not approach 6.025, which is much larger than the actual product. The multiplication of these two numbers can never yield a result in the 6 range.

D) 0.625

This option is correct. The correct multiplication of 2.50 by 0.25 results in 0.625, confirming it as the accurate solution to the expression provided.

Conclusion

The correct answer is 0.625 because it directly results from the multiplication of 2.50 and 0.25. All other options either misrepresent the multiplication or provide results that are not mathematically accurate based on the values given. Thus, option D stands out as the only correct answer.
