Answer:
-1/4
Explanation:
To write the decimal -0.25 as a fraction we need to multiply and divide by 100 as follows:
[tex]-0.25\times\frac{100}{100}=\frac{-0.25\times100}{100}=\frac{-25}{100}[/tex]We multiply by 100 because there are 2 digits after the decimal point.
Then, we need to simplify the fraction, so we can divide the numerator and the denominator by 25 as:
[tex]\frac{-25}{100}=\frac{-25\div25}{100\div25}=-\frac{1}{4}[/tex]So, the fraction in its simplest form is -1/4
