-8/15 means '-8' divided by '15' Ignoring the negative for the moment. 15)8. 00000 = We say '15' into '8' won't go. So in the answer we write '0' / Then shift the decimal point to make it read '80' We say '15' into '80' goes '5' times , with a remainder of '5' So the answer becomes 15)8.0000 = 0.5 The remainder '5' is combined with the next decimal zero to read '50' Then shift the decimal point to make it read '50' We say '15' into '50' goes '3' times , with a remainder of '5' So the answer becomes 15)8.0000 = 0.53 We then repeat again 15)8.0000 0.533 You should realise that this repeats unto infinity. So the answer becomes '0.5333.... ' The three or more dots indicate the mathematicians that the decimals recurs unto infinity. Put the negative back in ' -0;53333;;;; ' Hence Fraction '-8/15' = Decimals ' -0.5333.... '
