Answer 2

Answer:

$4.5$

Step-by-step explanation:

In this answer, I'll be using a method called percent proportion.

$\frac{percent}{100} = \frac{part}{whole}$      in this case part = is and whole = of

Answer:

0.045 is 1% of what number?

$\frac{1}{100} = \frac{0.045}{x}$ $=$ $\frac{1x}{1} = \frac{4.5}{1} x=4.5$

Steps:

1. make your proportion.

2. cross-multiply your proportion. Remember we don't know what x equals.

3. divide both sides by 1.

4. Answer = $4.5$

Have a nice day :)
