To multiply \( 2 \times \frac{5}{2} \), follow these steps:

1. Write 2 as a fraction: \( \frac{2}{1} \).
   
2. Multiply the numerators: \( 2 \times 5 = 10 \).
   
3. Multiply the denominators: \( 1 \times 2 = 2 \).

Thus:

\[
2 \times \frac{5}{2} = \frac{10}{2}
\]

4. Simplify \( \frac{10}{2} \) by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by 2:

\[
\frac{10}{2} = 5
\]

So, \( 2 \times \frac{5}{2} = 5 \).
