first we need to remove the % sign so we divide it by 100%

144%/100%

144/100

which gives

38/25

which in mixed fractions is

1 13/25

A mixed number is a number accompanied by a proper fraction.
100% is equivalent to 1, therefore, it's 1 and 44%.
Percentages represent fractions 1-100, thus, we can do 44/100.
In reducing, we halve the numerator and denominator until one side cannot be evenly divided.
44/2=22
100/2=50
(22/50)
22/2=11
50/2=25
(11/25)
Thus, your mixed number is 1 & 11/25.
