More detail

Any finite decimal can be converted to a fraction by considering the place value of the digits.

  3.2 = 3×1 + 2×(1/10)

  = 3 + 2/10 = (30 +2)/10 = 32/10

Then common factors can be cancelled from numerator and denominator.

  32/10 = (2·16)/(2·5) = 16/5

The negative sign can be applied as required.

  -3.2 = -(3.2) = -(16/5) = -16/5
