-0.312 is a fraction. It is a fraction in decimal form rather than in the form of a ratio. However, that does not stop it being a fraction. Being a decimal, there is no simpler form. Its rational equivalent is -312/1000 which can be simplified to -39/125. But simplification means that you lose information about the precision of the fraction and end up with a clumsier number.
