25/27 What you do here is take the inverse of one of those two fractions, then multiply across. So 5/9 divided by 3/5 would be 5/9 times 5/3. So 5 times 5 is 25 3 times 9 is 27. 25/27

Dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal:

(5/9)/(3/5)

(5/9)*(5/3)

(5*5)/(9*3)

25/27
