I'd say either twenty minutes or two hours is normal, depending on if the game is meant to be quick or not. Shorter than an RPG session, but two hours can still be a big ask.
Yeah, forty-five minutes is probably an exaggeration. Though the need to go over the rules and answer questions and such like does make playing a game for the first time take a bit longer than normal.
