Answer

$-0.15$

Work Step by Step

To find the decimal notation of $-\dfrac{3}{20}$. Firstly write $20$ in the form of two factors including $10$. $-\dfrac{3}{2\cdot10}$ Now divide $3$ by $2$. We get, $-\dfrac{1.5}{10}$ Since there is $10$ in the denominator, the decimal will move to the left for once. So, we get the decimal notation as follows: $-0.15$
