1. The problem is to divide 4.5 by 250. 2. The formula for division is $$\text{Quotient} = \frac{\text{Dividend}}{\text{Divisor}}$$ where the dividend is 4.5 and the divisor is 250. 3. Substitute the values: $$\frac{4.5}{250}$$ 4. Perform the division: $$4.5 \div 250 = 0.018$$ 5. So, the result of dividing 4.5 by 250 is 0.018.
