We could write it as a whole fraction like,

-10 9/100

Or we could keep it as an improper fraction, that being…
-1009/100

Answer:

-1009/100

Explanation:

You want to write -10.09 as a fraction.

Place value

When you identify the least significant digit as having a place value of one hundredth, you know that the number can be written as some number of hundredths. That number of hundredths is the value you get when you eliminate the decimal point from the number:

-1009/100

__

Additional comment

If the numerator were divisible by 2 or 5, the fraction could be reduced. This fraction cannot be reduced.

The sign of the fraction will be the sign of the decimal number.
