Hey there! I'm happy to help!

In a mixed number, we keep the whole number the same.

For the decimal, we have .38 which is 38/100.

We can simplify this by dividing the numerator and denominator by 2, giving us 19/50.

We combine the whole number and fraction, giving us -40 19/50.

Have a wonderful day! :D
