Answer:

45/100

Explanation:

You were correct

Here's Why

So when turning decimals into fractions you have to look at the decimal point and moves as many points to the right as you need. So in this case, you would move it 2 times to the right indicating 2 0's at the end of 1 so move it to the right 3 times it would be 45/1000 and so on and so on. Hope this helps!
