$3 \frac{1}{7}$ $3 1/7$

Explanation:

A mixed fraction is composed by an integer and a fraction, for example $2 \frac{2}{3}$ $2 2/3$ means $2 + \frac{2}{3}$ $2+2/3$

So, we must find the biggest integer which is still smaller than the fraction, and then express the reminder (which will be smaller than $1$ $1$ ) as another fraction.

In your case, since the multiples of $14$ $14$ are

$14, 28, 42, 56,...$ , we have that $44/14$ is more than $3$ and less than $4$ , so it must be a decimal number starting with $3$ . If we subtract that $3$ , we'll find the remainder:

$44/14 - 3 = 44/14 - 42/14 = (44-42)/14 = 2/14 = 1/7$

So, the mixed fraction is $3 1/7$
