To write ( \frac{280}{100} ) as a mixed number:

Divide the numerator (280) by the denominator (100).
( 280 \div 100 = 2 ) with a remainder of 80.
The quotient becomes the whole number part, and the remainder becomes the numerator of the fractional part.
So, ( \frac{280}{100} ) as a mixed number is ( 2 \frac{80}{100} ).

However, it's important to simplify the fractional part:

( \frac{80}{100} ) can be simplified by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 20.
( \frac{80}{100} = \frac{80 \div 20}{100 \div 20} = \frac{4}{5} ).

So, ( 2 \frac{80}{100} ) simplifies to ( 2 \frac{4}{5} ).
