Answer: 1 4/5 crates

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that 4 1/2 crates of grapes are delivered to a grocery store and that 2/5 of the grapes in each crates are green grapes.

The number of crates that it would take to deliver only the green grapes would be:

= 2/5 × 4 1/2

= 2/5 × 9/2

= 9/5

= 1 4/5 crates
