#45.897#.

Explanation:

To round a number to the nearest thousandth, first forget all of the numbers left on the thousandths place. So forget the #45.89#. Look at the 7. What number is to the right of it? A #4#, right? Since 4 is less than 5, you round down, and simply get rid of the four and every digit to the right of it. So your final answer is 45.897.
