Answer:

0.40

Explanation:

Change the divisor 1.8 to a whole number by moving the decimal point 1 places to the right. Then move the decimal point in the dividend the same, 1 places to the right.

We then have the equations:

7.2 ÷ 18 = 0.40

and therefore:

0.72 ÷ 1.8 = 0.40

Both calculated to 2 decimal places.
