Answer:
-6/125
Step-by-step explanation:
well first, the decimal is negative so automatically whatever fraction you write is going to be negative
the you look at the decimal:
-0.048
there is a 0 in the tenths place, a 4 in the hundredths place, and an 8 in the thousandths place
so that means, the fraction would be -48/1000
but since it isnt simplified, that what you have to do
both can be divided by 2
which will give you:
-24/500
but those can be divided by 2 again:
-12/250
these can also be divided by 2 again:
-6/125
since the 125 cannot be divided into 2 evenly again, this is the fraction in simplest form
