To find out how much of Paige's home was painted last year, we can set up a fraction. Paige planned to paint 45 rooms and completed 23 rooms.

The fraction of the rooms painted is:

\[
\frac{\text{rooms completed}}{\text{total rooms planned}} = \frac{23}{45}
\]

Next, we can check the available response options to see if any represent this fraction:

1. **815** - This is not a fraction.
2. **8 over 15** - This is equal to \(\frac{8}{15}\) and does not match \(\frac{23}{45}\).
3. **29** - This is not a fraction.
4. **2 ninths** - This is equal to \(\frac{2}{9}\) and does not match \(\frac{23}{45}\).
5. **615** - This is not a fraction.
6. **6 over 15** - This is equal to \(\frac{6}{15}\), which simplifies to \(\frac{2}{5}\) and does not match \(\frac{23}{45}\).

Since none of the responses directly match \(\frac{23}{45}\), we can express \(\frac{23}{45}\) as a decimal to see if it's approximately equal to any of the provided options.

Calculating the decimal:

\[
\frac{23}{45} \approx 0.5111
\]

None of the response options represent a fraction that is equivalent to \( \frac{23}{45} \) or its decimal equivalent accurately.

Thus, it seems like the correct answer of \( \frac{23}{45} \) isn't listed among the responses provided. Would you like to explore this further or clarify anything?
