Answer 2

Hi there! :)

Answer:

`\huge\boxed{(9cm)/(8cm)}`

We can disregard the units temporarily to create a ratio for 4.5 to 4:

4.5 is not a whole number- we can convert this number in the ratio to a whole number by multiplying both numbers by 2:

2 · (4.5 : 4) = 9 : 8

Express as a fraction:

`9cm : 8cm = (9cm)/(8cm)`
