Answer:

It's -39/125

Explanation:

Rewrite the decimal number as a fraction with 1 in the denominator

Multiply to remove 3 decimal places. Here, you multiply top and bottom by 103 = 1000

Find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of 312 and 1000, if it exists, and reduce the fraction by dividing both numerator and denominator by GCF = 8

Therefore

X=39/125

In conclusion,

−0.312=−39/125
