18/m = 7.2

m = 18/7.2 = 2.5

Hence, m 2.5

Please correct me if I'm wrong!! :)

Answer 2

"18 divided by m" can mean either of the two expressions:

$18 \div m$

$\frac{18}{m}$

The first expression is a simple number sentence using the division operation.

The second expression is a fraction, which represents a numerator (18) being divided by a denominator (m).

The statement can be represented by either of these equations:

$\boxed{18 \div m = 7.2}$

$\boxed{\frac{18}{m} = 7.2}$
