Answer:

7 1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

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

7.2=7.2/1

Multiply to remove 1 decimal places. Here, you multiply top and bottom by 10^1 = 10

7.2/1×10/10=72/10

Find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of 72 and 10, if it exists, and reduce the fraction by dividing both numerator and denominator by GCF = 2,

7/2÷2/10÷2=36/5

Simplify the improper fraction,

=7 1/5

In conclusion,

−7.2=−7 1/5

Hope it helped. :)
