Explanation:

Step1: Set up ratio proportion

Let $k$ = number of koalas.
$\frac{9}{5} = \frac{414}{k}$

Step2: Cross-multiply to solve for $k$

$9k = 414 \times 5$
$9k = 2070$

Step3: Isolate $k$

$k = \frac{2070}{9}$
$k = 230$

Step1: Convert decimal to fraction

$1.8 = \frac{18}{10} = \frac{9}{5}$

Step2: Convert decimal to percent

$1.8 \times 100 = 180\%$

Answer:

  1. 230
  2. a. $\frac{9}{5}$
