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!
