Laser light with a wavelength lambda = 680 nm illuminates a pair of slits at normal incidence. What slit separation will produce first-order maxima at angles of +/- 45 degrees from the incident direction?

I need to find the distance in terms of {\rm \mu m}. I tried to work it out and got 9.62*10^-7, but apparently that's not right. Can someone help?
