Answer 1

An expression is equivalent to 54 if it represents the same numerical value as 54.

The following options are equivalent to 54:

53 + 1

54

54.5 - 0.5

54.57 - 0.07

54.512 - 0.512

The options that are not equivalent to 54 are:

(53)4

0511

516

054.512

Note that a number followed by a trailing zero is not equivalent to the same number without trailing zero as trailing zeroes don't change the value of the number.
