next instalment of logic puzzle....

there are two lengths of rope.

Each one can burn in exactly one hour.

They are not necessarily of the same length or width as each other.

They are also not of uniform (mayb wider in the middle than one end) thus burnin half of the rope is not necessarily half an hour.

By burning the ropes how do u measure exactly 45 minutes worth of time!?

If anyone is deprarate to no the answer pm me and i'll let ya no the correct answer!
