We can use inverse operations to find 1.8 divided by 3, because we know that if 1.8/3 = x, then 3x = 1.8. That means that some number multiplied by 3 will equal 1.8.We know that 3*1 = 3. So the number has to be less than 1, but greater than 0. We know that 3*6 = 18, so that means 3*0.6 = 1.8. Therefore, 1.8 divided by 3 is 0.6. Also, I have attached a more detailed way to find what 'x' is without having to use inverse operations.


(1.8)/(3) = x\\\\(1.8* 10)/(3* 10) = x\\\\(18)/(30) = x\\\\(6* 3)/(6* 5) = x\\\\(3)/(5) = x\\\\\boxed{\bf{x=(3)/(5) = 0.6}}
