Answer 3

The answer is C) 7.9 and I got this answer by multiplying 45 and 10 and I added a % sign to 45 and got 4.5, so it says nearest tenth so out of all choices, 7 is closet so that's the nearest one and makes C) correct

Answer 4

Thank you and heyyy no direct answers allowed missy XD How did you do it o.o

Answer 5

You're very welcome and all I did was multiplication and then rounding, first multiply 45% * 10 to get 4.5 and then round 4 to the nearest and I got 7 so 7.9 was the answer
