Hi there!

This should be easy,lol!

Answer:

[tex]\boxed{-\frac{17}{40} }[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Rewrite the decimal number as a fraction with 1 in the denominator.

Then

Multiply to remove 3 decimal places. Here, you multiply top and bottom by 103 = 1000

And then....

Find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of 425 and 1000, if it exists, and reduce the fraction by dividing both numerator and denominator by GCF = 25.

Therefore x = -17/40

In conclusion, – 0.425 = -17/40

Have a great day/night!
