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, \( \frac{5}{2} \times 4^2 = 40 \).
