ANSWER

0.45 and 9/20

Step-by-step explanation

We want to convert 45% to a decimal and to a fraction.

DECIMAL

To convert to a decimal, we first put it in the fractional form over 100:

$45\text{\% }\Rightarrow\text{ }(45)/(100)$

Now, simply divide:

$(45)/(100)\Rightarrow\text{ 0.45}$

0.45 is the answer

FRACTION

Put it in the fractional form over 100:

Now, put it in lowest terms:

$(45)/(100)=\text{ }(9)/(20)$

That is the answer
