Answer #1

As per Fisher equation :

Nominal interest rate = Real interest rate +Inflation rate

    6.45 = Real rate +1.75

   Real rate = 6.45 - 1.75

                     = 4.7%

This method provides an approximate result .

Note:

To find exact result :

(1+nominal rate )= (1+real rate)(1+inflation rate)

(1+.0645) =(1+real rate)(1+.0175)

(1+real rate) = 1.0645 /1.0175

real rate=   1.0462-1

            = .0462 or 4.62%
