Which of the following is correct?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A.<br>0.0625<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>B.<br>6.025<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>C.<br>0.625<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>D.<br>6.25<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-ast-global-color-6-color\">The Correct answer and Explanation is:<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To simplify the expression 2.50\u00d70.252.50 \\times 0.252.50\u00d70.25, we can break down the multiplication step-by-step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 1: Multiply the Numbers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>First, we multiply the two numbers as if they were whole numbers. Ignoring the decimal points initially, we compute:250\u00d725250 \\times 25250\u00d725<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 2: Performing the Multiplication<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, we can perform this multiplication:250\u00d725=6250250 \\times 25 = 6250250\u00d725=6250<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 3: Adjust for Decimal Places<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, we need to account for the decimal points. The number 2.502.502.50 has two decimal places, and 0.250.250.25 has two decimal places as well. When multiplying decimal numbers, the total number of decimal places in the product will be the sum of the decimal places in the factors. Thus, we have:2+2=42 + 2 = 42+2=4<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This means we need to move the decimal point four places to the left in 625062506250:6250\u21920.62506250 \\rightarrow 0.62506250\u21920.6250<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After adjusting for the decimal, we can simplify this to:0.6250.6250.625<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 4: Choose the Correct Answer<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, let\u2019s look at the options provided:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A. 0.06250.06250.0625<br>B. 6.0256.0256.025<br>C. 0.6250.6250.625<br>D. 6.256.256.25<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The correct answer is clearly:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>C. 0.6250.6250.625<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In conclusion, the multiplication of 2.502.502.50 and 0.250.250.25 simplifies to 0.6250.6250.625. This step-by-step process demonstrates the importance of careful calculation and attention to decimal placement when working with decimal numbers in multiplication. By breaking down the multiplication and then adjusting for the decimal points, we arrive at the correct answer systematically.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2.50*0.25 Simplify the expression above.
