    Answer:225000 mice

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Mass of elephant=4500kg

    Mass of mice=2x10^ (-2) = 2/100 kg

    Let y be there number of mice

    2/100 x y=4500

    2y/100=4500

    Cross multiply

    2y=4500 x 100

    2y=450000

    Divide both sides by 2

    2y/2=450000/2

    y=225000
