Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

$\underline{\boxed{\dfrac{-7}{800}}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\underline{\textsf{Given to ...}}$

$\textsf{Express -0.00875 in the form of p by q where p and q are integers and Q not equal to 0}$

$\underline{\mathbf{Solution}}$

$\textsf{Here -0.00875 is in decimal form so we need to eliminate decimal to express }$

$\textsf{it in \rm{\mathbf{rational}} form.}$

$\mathsf{So\:here\:to\: eliminate\: decimal\:we\:need\:to\:multiply\:the \:number \:with \:1,00,000}$

$\textsf{But, just Multiplying will change the value of term so to equalise the term we need to}$ $\textsf{decide the term with the same number too.}$

$\underline{\textsf{Therefore..}}$

$\implies \textsf{Multiplying and dividing -0.00875 by 1,00,000 we have}$

$\mathsf{-0.00875 \:\times \:\dfrac{100000}{100000}}$

$\underline{\mathsf{\implies That\: is..}}$

$\mathsf{\dfrac{-875}{100000}}$

$\mathsf{\dfrac{-7}{800}}$. (Simplified)

$\underline{\textsf{Therefore required form is }}$

$\underline{\boxed{\dfrac{-7}{800}}}$
