Answer 2

Answer: Our required values are $\dfrac{9}{20}\ and\ 0.85$ respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

0.45

We need to rewritten in fraction as simplest form:

So, it would be rewritten as

$\dfrac{45}{100}=\dfrac{9}{20}$

Similarly,

$\dfrac{17}{20}$

We need to rewritten in decimals.

So, it would be rewritten as

$\dfrac{17\times 5}{20\times 5}=\dfrac{85}{100}=0.85$

Hence, our required values are $\dfrac{9}{20}\ and\ 0.85$ respectively.
