Answer 2

`-2(8)/(25)`

Explanation:

We are asked to write
`-2.32` as a mixed number in simplest form.

We will multiply and divide
`-2.32` by 100 to remove decimal.

`-2.32* (100)/(100)`

`-(2.32* 100)/(100)`

`-(232)/(100)`

Reduce to simplest form:

`-(58* 4)/(25* 4)`

`-(58)/(25)`

`-2(8)/(25)`

Therefore, our required fraction would be
`-2(8)/(25)`.
