Final answer:

Option A). The expression -9v⁹ - 7 is a binomial with a degree of 9 because it has two terms and the highest power of the variable v is 9.

Step-by-step explanation:

By employing the reciprocal of the divisor, or the second fraction, we may turn the division of fractions into a multiplication problem and solve equation 1: 4/5 divided by 3/5. In this case, 5/3 is the reciprocal of 3/5. This means that our equation is now 1 4/5 x 5/3 divided by 1. In essence, division and multiplication are equivalent operations; that is, multiplying by a fraction is equivalent to dividing by its counterpart.
