To solve the multiplication ( 5 cdot (5 times 10^0) ), we can follow these steps:

1. Simplify ( 10^0 ): Any number raised to the power of 0 equals 1. So, ( 10^0 = 1 ).

2. Rewrite the expression: This simplifies our expression to:

[

5 cdot (5 times 1) = 5 cdot 5 = 25

]

3. Convert to scientific notation: The number 25 can be expressed in scientific notation as:

[

2.5 times 10^1

]

So, the final answer in scientific notation is:

[

boxed{2.5 times 10^1}

]
