2.25 cm

2.5 cm

4.5 cm

5.0 cm

Answer 1

I'm not really for sure how you do this problem and I'm truly sorry. If you have to Multiply 4.5×0.5=2.25 cm. If you have to add 4.5+0.5=5.0cm. I would try 5.0 but not 100% sure sorry

Answer 2

2.25 cm

Explanation:

First we have to know how many centimeters are in 4.5 meters. We know that 1 meter is 100 centimeters, so 4.5 meters would be

`4.5m(100cm)/(1m)=450cm`

Then, we use the rule of three again, to find the scale drawing of the bedroom.

If 0.5 equals 1 meter, how many centimeters would be 4.5 meters

`4.5m(0.5cm)/(1m)=2.25cm`

Therefore, the right answer is the first choice.
