Final Answer : B, Explanation :  This is a well-defined problem since the initial state (18/5) and the goal state (3 3/5) are clearly defined. The initial state is the starting point of the problem, and the goal state is the desired outcome. The problem is asking to convert an improper fraction to a mixed numeral, and the solution is 3 3/5. Therefore, the correct choice is B, which identifies the problem as well-defined, with an initial state of 18/5 and a goal state of 3 3/5.
