Answer: -3/8
==========================================
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiply the numbers up top to get 1 times -3 = -3
Do the same for the numbers underneath: 2 times 4 = 8
The final answer is the fraction -3/8
The fraction cannot be reduced further. Why not? Because 3 and 8 don't have any factors in common other than 1.
If you need to convert to decimal form, use long division or a calculator to find that -3/8 = -0.375
