I used the https://ptable.com 

O2=2(15.999)=31.998

N2=2(14.007)=28.014

NO2=14.007+2(15.999)=46.005

 

Lets solve one by one using unit conversions

O2=1 mol/31.998 g

88g of O2= 88*1 mol/31.998g

88/31.998 moles of O2=2.531408213013313332083 moles of O2

 

N2=1 mol/28.014

88g of N2=88*1 mol/28.014

88/28.014 moles of N2=3.141286499607339187549 moles of N2

 

NO2= 1 mol/46.005

12g of NO2=12*1 mol/46.005

12/46.005 moles of NO2=0.2608412129116400391262 moles of NO2

 

0.2608412129116400391262/5.933535925532292558758=0.04396050115568149888328. To make life simpler, im going to round it to

0.04396.

Fractional form is 

1099/25000

I dont know if this is correct-It doesnt seem like it-but I tried laugh
