The problem is asking to perform the division \( \frac{0.2}{0.0005} \) and to express the answer with the correct number of significant figures.

Let's break this down:

1. **Performing the division:**

\[
\frac{0.2}{0.0005} = 400
\]

2. **Determining significant figures:**
   - The numerator \( 0.2 \) has **1 significant figure**.
   - The denominator \( 0.0005 \) has **1 significant figure**.

Since both numbers have 1 significant figure, the result should also have **1 significant figure**. Therefore, the correct answer is:

\[
400 \quad (\text{with 1 significant figure, rounded to } 4 \times 10^2)
\]

4. How would the result differ if \( 0.2 \) had more significant figures?
5. Can significant figures be applied in addition or subtraction?

**Tip**: Always ensure that your final result has the same number of significant figures as the measurement with the fewest significant figures in the calculation.

Perform the following operations AND give the correct number of significant figures: 0.2 / 0.0005
