Thanks Jessica grade 9 Ontario

Hi Jessica
Let me do part (a), -1.157

This number is - (1 plus one tenth plus 5 hundreths plus 7 thousandths), that is

With the common denominator 1000 this is

Another way to see this is to treat -1.157 as -1.157 over 1 and then multiply the numerator and denominator by 1000.

Cheers,
