So, we have the decimal representations as follows,
  3 8 =0.375 7 3 =2.3 22 6 =3.67
Based on the decimal representations as above, we can say that 3 8 will lie between 0 and 1, and will be closer to 0.
Next, 7 3 will lie between –2 and –3, and will be closer to –2.
And, 22 6 or 22 6 will lie between –3 and –4, and will be closer to –4.
So, we can observe that the representation is the same as per our analysis, which is,
