$\frac{9}{20}$ $9/20$

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 $\frac{1}{100}$ $1/100$

So 45% is the same as $45 \times \frac{1}{100}$ $45xx1/100$

This gives you $\frac{45}{100} \to \frac{45 \div 5}{100 \div 5} = \frac{9}{20}$ $45/100 " "->" "(45-:5)/(100-:5) = 9/20$
