Answer

$-\frac{29}{500}$

Work Step by Step

To convert a decimal to a fraction, place the decimal value in the numerator. Set the denominator to a multiple of ten, corresponding to the rightmost place value, in the case thousandths. Simplify by dividing the numerator and denominator by the greatest common factor. $-\frac{58}{1000}=-\frac{58\div2}{1000\div2}=-\frac{29}{500}$
