Answer 2

Answer:

There are two ways; you can have an improper fraction, where the numerator is larger than the denominator, or keep the integer and just convert the decimal to a fraction. The second option is simple. The fraction 0.25=25/100=1/4. So, as a proper fraction, we would have -20 1/4.

To make an improper fraction, you can go from the proper fraction. Multiply the denominator by the integer, then add the numerator. This number will be your new numerator, and the denominator stays the same. Using -20 1/4:

4 * -20 = -80 + 1 = 81. Keep the denominator the same, and you have -81/4.
