Step-by-step explanation:
Hi Glenishagreaves!
The easiest way to begin is to convert 2 [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] to an improper fraction.
2 × 2 = 4 + 1 = 5.
So 2 [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{5}{2}[/tex]
5 × [tex]\frac{5}{2}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{25}{2}[/tex]
Converting to a mixed number gives a final answer of [tex]\boxed{12 \frac{1}{2} }$[/tex].
