Solution
For this case we can do the following:
We can multiply the numerator ny 10 and then divide by 10 like this:
[tex]\frac{144.8\cdot10}{10}=\frac{1448}{10}=\frac{724}{5}[/tex]Then we can convert the % to fraction dividing by 100 and we got:
[tex]\frac{724}{5}\cdot\frac{1}{100}=\frac{724}{500}=\frac{181}{125}[/tex]Then the fraction would be given by: 181/125
