Answer:

The improper fraction is 283/100

The mixed number is 2 83/100

Explanation:

The whole number remains as a whole number

.83 has a number in the hundredths place so it goes over 100

2 83/100

83 is prime so we cannot simplify the fraction

2 83/100 is a mixed number

To change this to an improper fraction

take 100 *2 then add 83

283 and put it over the denominator of 100

283/100
