#560#

Explanation:

You may find it helpful to think of #0.5# as a fraction of #1/2# instead.

To divide:
#280-:0.5#
#=280-:1/2#
#=280*2#
#=560#

Remeber that when you divide a number by a fraction, it is the same thing as multiplying the number by the inverse of the fraction. Also, keep in mind that when you divide a number by a fraction, the resulting value is bigger.

Hope this helps.
