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



18 / m



(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 / m = 7.2}



\boxed{(18)/(m) = 7.2}

18/m = 7.2


m = 18/7.2 = 2.5


Hence, m 2.5


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