Multiply. 0.5 * 5 = ? Choices: [[0.025][0.25][2.5]]

Multiply 0.5 by 5: First, we gotta multiply 0.5 by 5, which is pretty straightforward. Just take the 0.5 and think of it as half of something. So, if you got 5 and you want half of it, that's like splitting it into two equal parts. So, doing the math here: 0.5 * 5.Divide by 2: Now, when you multiply a number by 0.5, it's the same as dividing it by 2. So, 5 divided by 2 gives us 2.5. This is because half of 5 is 2.5, which makes sense if you think about it. So, the calculation is: 0.5 * 5 = 2.5.
