Answer:

9/2

Explanation:

in order to find the fraction form of 4.5... we need to set a denominator. The denominator has to be greater than 1 because we 4.5 is not a whole number...

we want the simplest denominator in the end... so we'll pick 2 for a denominator and change it if it doesn't work in the end...

now that we know the denominator... we have to make the numerator 4 times larger than the denominator (2)... when we do this... we get 8/2

since we made the numerator 4 times larger than the denominator... we know that 8/2 is the same as 4

now we need to find the remaining 1/2

this can be done by simply adding 1/2 to 8/2 (which is easily done thanks to a common denominator)

Since 9/2 cannot be simplified any further... it is our final answer
