Thanks for asking the question.
p/q here is used for fraction
As we know -0.00875 is in decimals. So, first of all we will remove the decimal. By removing the decimal we will eventually have the answer in the form of fraction.
We move the decimal 5 digits to the right. this gives us -875x10^-5(read as ten raise to power five).
We remove the negative by placing it in the denominator. Hence, becomes,
-875/100000, which is the answer.
Hope it helps.
