Answer: -40 7/40

Explanation:

Rewrite the decimal number as a fraction with 1 in the denominator
40.425=40.4251/1
Multiply to remove 3 decimal places. Here, you multiply top and bottom by 103 = 1000
40.4251×1000/1000=40425/1000
Find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of 40425 and 1000 and reduce the fraction by dividing both numerator and denominator by GCF = 25
40425÷25
1000÷25
=1617/40

Simplify the improper fraction
in conclusion
-40 17/40
you must not forget the minus/negative sign :)
