Answer:

-1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

To write the decimal -0.25 as a fraction we need to multiply and divide by 100 as follows:


-0.25*(100)/(100)=(-0.25*100)/(100)=(-25)/(100)

We multiply by 100 because there are 2 digits after the decimal point.

Then, we need to simplify the fraction, so we can divide the numerator and the denominator by 25 as:


(-25)/(100)=(-25/25)/(100/25)=-(1)/(4)

So, the fraction in its simplest form is -1/4
