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)).
=3(3z)2-3
=3(9z2)-3
=27z^2-3
=3(9z^2-1)
=3(3z+1)(3z-1)

Answer:
9, the sum of the numbers given in the ratio
Step-by-step explanation:
The reduced ratio 2 : 7 means that two parts correspond to one length and 7 parts correspond to the other length. That is, there are a total of 2+7 = 9 parts in the full length of the segment.
It is convenient to think of the line segment as being divided into 9 equal parts.

<em>Additional comments</em>
It is often helpful to consider the total number of "ratio units" in a given ratio. For example, in this problem, the shorter segment is 2/9 of the whole, and the longer one is 7/9 of the whole.
It can also be useful to consider what a "ratio unit" represents. If the whole segment is 27 inches long, then each of the 9 ratio units will represent 3 inches, for example. This means the division 2:7 is 2(3 in):7(3 in) = 6 in : 21 in.
