Yes, \( 1 \frac{14}{44} \) is a rational number.
To express it as an improper fraction, you can convert the mixed number into a single fraction:
1. Convert the whole number \(1\) into a fraction:
\[ 1 = \frac{44}{44} \]
2. Now, add the fraction \( \frac{14}{44} \):
\[ 1 \frac{14}{44} = \frac{44}{44} + \frac{14}{44} = \frac{44 + 14}{44} = \frac{58}{44} \]
Since both the numerator (58) and the denominator (44) are integers, and the denominator is not zero, \( \frac{58}{44} \) is a rational number.
