Final answer:

The expression equivalent to 5/9 times 2 is 5 times 2 divided by 9, which is option C, representing 10/9 or approximately 1.11.

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression in question is 5/9×2, which we are looking to match with one of the provided choices. To correctly interpret this expression, we simply multiply 5 by 2 and then divide by 9. Following the multiplication step (5×2), we get 10. Next, we divide 10 by 9, which gives us 10/9, or approximately 1.11. However, none of the provided options (A. 2×9/2, B. 2×2/9, C. 5×2/9, D. 5×9/2) are equivalent to 10/9.

The closest option to our result is C, 5×2/9, which appropriately represents the multiplication of 5 and 2 followed by division by 9. Therefore, the expression equivalent to 5/9×2 is 5×2/9, or choice C.
