i used my calculator and put the decimal into it and hit equal and then presses the button above the equal sign that looks like < > and then hit the button that says simp

Answer 2

-11/500

Explanation:

-0.022

To change the decimal number into a fraction, start by reading the number.

The second 2 is in the thousandths place. This number is read as:

"negative twenty-two thousandths"

Now write a fraction with 22 over 1000, and with a negative sign.

-0.022 = -22/1000

Now we reduce. 22 and 1000 are divisible by 2.

-0.022 = -22/1000 = -11/500
