Question

What is 18 divided by 0.2 and how?

Answer 1

0.2 is the same as 2/10

18/(2/10)

As you may have learned in school, when you divide a fraction, you flip the fraction in the denominator, and change it to multiplication

18/(2/10) becomes 18 x (10/2)

multiply normally

18 x 10 = 180

divide to find answer

180/2 = 90

90 is your answer

hope this helps

Remember, when you meet this problem, flip the second fraction, and change the division sign into multiplication. (always second, never first (if first is a fraction)).
