5/2*4^2=40?

Let's evaluate the expression step by step: Expression: \( \frac{5}{2} \times 4^2 \) 1. Calculate \( 4^2 \): \[ 4^2 = 16 \] 2. Substitute back: \[ \frac{5}{2} \times 16 \] 3. Multiply: \[ \frac{5}{2} \times 16 = 5 \times \frac{16}{2} = 5 \times 8 = 40 \] **Answer: Yes, \( \frac{5}{2} \times 4^2 = 40 \).**
