$- 5.237 = - 5 \frac{237}{1000}$ $-5.237 = -5 237/1000$

Explanation:

Fractions, decimals and percents are all different ways of showing the same value. They are interchangeable.

In $- 5.237$ $-5.237$ , the 3 decimal places indicate thousandths.

$- 5.237 = - 5 \frac{237}{1000}$ $-5.237 = -5 237/1000$

As this fraction does not simplify at all, that's it!

A mixed number has:
a whole number part (-5) and a fraction part $(\frac{237}{1000})$ $(237/1000)$
