Answer:

125/12

Explanation:

lets take n = -10.4166666

multiply this by 100 so we get the recurring part as the decimals

100n = -1041.66666

now we multiply our original n value by 10 for simplicity while calulating

10n = -104.16666

then we subtract 10n from 100n

90n = -1041.666 - (- 104.16666)

the recurring part will cancel out infinitely

so we get

90n = 937.5

then we solve for n

n = 937.5/90

simplifying will get us n= 125/12
