The correct answer is 23. Paige painted 23 rooms in her home last year.
To find out how much of Paige's home was painted last year, we need to calculate the proportion of rooms that were painted.
Paige decided to paint 45 rooms in her home last year, but she only completed 23 rooms by the end of the year.
To calculate the proportion of rooms painted, we can divide the number of completed rooms by the total number of rooms:
Proportion of painted rooms = Completed rooms / Total rooms
Proportion of painted rooms = 23 / 45
Simplifying the fraction, we get:
Proportion of painted rooms = 23/45
So, the answer is: 23/45.
