You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(2.5 \cdot 2.5\)

MathBot Answer:

\[2.5 \cdot 2.5 = \frac{25}{4} = 6.25\]

\[\begin{aligned}2.5 \cdot 2.5& = \left(2 + \frac{5}{10}\right) \cdot \left(2 + \frac{5}{10}\right)\\& = \left(2 + \frac{1}{2}\right) \cdot \left(2 + \frac{5}{10}\right)\\& = \frac{5}{2} \cdot \left(2 + \frac{5}{10}\right)\\& = \frac{5}{2} \cdot \left(2 + \frac{1}{2}\right)\\& = \frac{5}{2} \cdot \frac{5}{2}\\& = \frac{25}{4}\end{aligned}\]
