This is a simple fraction dividing problem.
you need to divide
(1)/(9) and
5.

Also known as
(1)/(9)
÷ the reciprocal of
(5)/(1).
So how do you do this? I know a strategy called "Keep Change Flip" meaning you keep the first number, in this case you keep
(1)/(9), you change the division sign into multiplication, and you flip

(5)/(1) into

(1)/(5).
Now you multiply.


(1)/(9) ×
(1)/(5)
1 × 1 = 1
9
× 5 = 45
You get
(1)/(45). This is your answer.
