Answer:
Since in the denominator, we have 100
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider the place value chart .
Given number = [tex]\frac{45}{100}[/tex]
We need to explain why we can write it as 0.45 as shown in place value chart with 4 in the tenths place and 5 in the hundredths place .
In the given fraction [tex]\frac{45}{100}[/tex], denominator is 100 , so we will shift decimal two places to the left of numerator 45 .
Number becomes 0.45
We know that first digit to the right of decimal point is basically tenths place and second digit to the right of decimal point is basically hundredths place .
So, we can write [tex]\frac{45}{100}[/tex] as 0.45
