How can the number \(-0.3125\), represented on the number line, be written in its simplest fractional form?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: \(-\frac{5}{16}\)

\(-0.3125=-\frac{3125}{10000}\). Dividing the numerator and denominator by 625 gives \(-\frac{3125}{10000}=-\frac{5}{16}\), so option A is correct. The closest distractor, \(-\frac{3}{16}\), equals \(-0.1875\), not \(-0.3125\). Exam tip: for a terminating decimal, place it over the corresponding power of 10 and then reduce the fraction completely.
