Answer:

9/20

Explanation:

In the same way that when you are measuring a length in centimetres the units of measurement are shown as 'cm'. When counting proportions, if the % is used, it is likewise a unit of measurement. It is worth

1 /100.

So 45% is the same as 45 x
(1)/(100)


(45)/(100) simplified is 9/20
