Question

What is –0.025 as a fraction??

Answer 1

- 1/40

Explanation:

-0.025 = -0.025/1

we have 3 numbers after the decimal point so we multiply both numerator and denominator by 1000

( -0.025 x 1000)/(1 x 1000) = -25/1000

reduce the above fraction by dividing both numerator and denominator by the greatest common divisor between them. in this case GCD (25,1000) = 25.

(-25/25)/(1000/25) = - 1/40
