Solution

For this case we can do the following:

We can multiply the numerator ny 10 and then divide by 10 like this:


(144.8\cdot10)/(10)=(1448)/(10)=(724)/(5)

Then we can convert the % to fraction dividing by 100 and we got:


(724)/(5)\cdot(1)/(100)=(724)/(500)=(181)/(125)

Then the fraction would be given by: 181/125
