You have two fuses (a fuse is something you burn to eventually set off an explosive), one which burns 1 hour and one which burns 2 hours. The fuses do not burn at a constant rate, so, for example, the last few inches of the first fuse could take 5 minutes or 55 minutes to burn. You have as many matches as you want. With these fuses, you have to measure a time period of exactly 45 minutes. How do you do this?

Tammy, are you sure you got this right? If both of the fuses were 1 hour, I could do it. But I can't wrap my head around it if one is 2 hours.

If you are right, could I get a hint?

First light the one hour fuse at both ends and light the two hour fuse at one end. The first fuse will be gone in a half hour. Then you light the other end of the two hour fuse and it will burn out after 45 minutes.
