no, because -6.7 is negative 6 and 7 tenths and -67/10 is negative 67 tenths which is wrong, I think....

Yes, -6.7 is equal to -6 and 7/10. We know that in -6.7, 7 is in the tenths place. So you would have -6 7/10. You can also divide 7 by 10. 7 divided by 10 equals .7. So -6.7 is equal to -6 7/10. I hope that I could help! It is a lot easier than it first sounds!
