-0.266666666….
First break off the part that is not repeating
= -0.2 – 0.066666…..
-0.2 can be written as a fraction
-0.2 = -1/5
-0.066666… = 6/90 = 1/15
-1/5 – 1/15
= -3/15 – 1/15
= -4/15
See the link below for a very good explanation.

To answer this the value 0.266… is given the letter x. The calculation is as follows…
x = -0.2666….
so 10x = -2.666…
so 100x = -26.666…
10x – 100x = -26.666 – -2.666
so -90x = 24
so x = -24/90
-24/90 can be cancelled down to -4/15 which is your answer.
-0.2666…. = -4/15
