A ball falls freely from rest at a height of 2 meters. Observations indicate that the ball reaches the ground in .64 seconds.
Based on this information what is its acceleration?

vAve=2 meters/.64 s=3.125 m/s*2=6.25 m/s=vf, v0=0 m/s

Your statement
vAve=2 meters/.64 s=3.125 m/s*2=6.25 m/s=vf
asserts that vAve = vf.
Clearly this is not true, and it's not what you intended. Your intent is clear and correct.
To avoid confusing yourself and anyone who is reading your work, try to confine the use of the = sign to quantities that are in fact equal.

Is this consistent with an observation which concludes that a ball dropped from a height of 5 meters reaches the ground in 1.05 seconds?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :
vAve=5 m/1.05 s=4.76 m/s*2=9.52 m/s=vf, v0=0 m/s
a=9.52 m/s/1.05=9.06 m/s^2
This is pretty consistent

Are these observations consistent with the accepted value of the acceleration of gravity, which is 9.8 m / s^2?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :
The values I calculated were pretty consistent with the accepted value
