#0.45^o=0^o27'0''#

Explanation:

In #D^oM'S''# "form, one degree is equivalent to #60# minutes and each minute is equivalent to #60# seconds.

As such, #0.45^o# is equivalent to #0.45xx60=27'#

As there are no fractional minutes, number of seconds are #0#

and #0.45^o=0^o27'0''#

Note - Had we have #0.455^o# this would have been equivalent to #0.455xx60=27.3'# and then #0.3'# would have been equivalent to #0.3xx60=18''# and #0.455^o=0^o27'18''#
