zakariyyaauwal563, these are the same division problems we've been working on. Let's solve them again to make sure everything is clear.

1) $0.018 \div 0.6$

To make the divisor (0.6) a whole number, multiply both the dividend (0.018) and the divisor by 10.
$0.018 \times 10 = 0.18$ $0.6 \times 10 = 6$
The problem becomes $0.18 \div 6$ .
Perform the division.
$\begin{array}{r} 0.03 \\ 6 \overline{) 0.18} \\ -0 \downarrow \\ \hline 01 \\ -0 \downarrow \\ \hline 18 \\ -18 \\ \hline 0 \end{array}$
The result of the division is 0.03.
$0.018 \div 0.6 = 0.03$
The answer is $\boxed{0.03}$ .

2) $1800 \div 0.06$
To make the divisor (0.06) a whole number, multiply both the dividend (1800) and the divisor by 100.
$1800 \times 100 = 180000$ $0.06 \times 100 = 6$
The problem becomes $180000 \div 6$ .
Perform the division.
$180000 \div 6 = 30000$
The result is 30000.
$1800 \div 0.06 = 30000$
The answer is $\boxed{30000}$ .
