$$-\frac{3}{5}-9$$

Convert 9 to fraction \frac{45}{5}.

$$-\frac{3}{5}-\frac{45}{5}$$

Since -\frac{3}{5} and \frac{45}{5} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{-3-45}{5}$$

Subtract 45 from -3 to get -48.

$$-\frac{48}{5}$$

Factor

$$-\frac{48}{5} = -9\frac{3}{5} = -9.6$$
