While it is technically acceptable to write 4.5 percent as "four and a half percent" in informal contexts, it is not the standard or preferred way to express a decimal percentage. The more conventional and precise method is to write it as "4.5 percent" or "four point five percent." Using the phrase "four and a half percent" may lead to confusion in more technical or academic settings where precision is crucial.
