#18.56-:3.2=5.8#

#18.56-:3.2#

= #1856/100-:32/10#

= #1856/100xx10/32# - (as division by a fraction is equivalent to multiplication by its reciprocal

= #(464cancel1856)/(10cancel100)xx(1cancel10)/(8cancel32)# - dividing by #4# and #10#

= #464/10xx1/8#

= #(58cancel464)/10xx1/(1cancel8)# - dividing by #8#

= #58/10#

= #5.8#
