SUMMARY
This discussion focuses on the step-by-step method for multiplying a 5x5 matrix using boolean algebra, resulting in binary outputs of 0 and 1. A specific example is provided, demonstrating the calculation for the (1,4) entry by combining the first row of the first matrix with the fourth column of the second matrix. The calculation yields a result of 1 through the boolean operation of addition and multiplication defined in boolean algebra. Additionally, a visual aid is referenced to enhance understanding of matrix multiplication.

Hello MissP.25_5! 
Let's take the (1,4) entry …
you combine the 1st row of the 1st matrix with the 4th column of the second matrix:
(0 1 1 0 0) and (0 1 0 0 1) …
that's 0*0 + 1*1 + 1*0 + 0*0 + 0*1 = 1

ok, now you try some of the others, and show us what you get (or where you're stuck)

Have you seen the following method for visualizing the multiplication? It should help you to understand how to do matrix multiplication in general. Now please show your work -- you know that you need to show effort before we should offer tutorial help on schoolwork...
