Answer:

B. 1,8 and 9⁄5

Explanation:

To convert from a decimal to a percentage, move the decimal point twice to the right, then attach the percentage symbol:

1,8 = 180% [Write "0" as the placeholder]

⤻⤻

Then, to convert from a fraction to a decimal, divide both the denominator and numerator:


(9)/(5) = 1.8

Also, if you think about it, 18 × 5 is 90, so 1,8 × 5 would be 9. Get it?

All of these prove that they are equivalent 180%.

I am joyous to assist you anytime.
