Answer:

5/6

Explanation:

You write the question as such: 5/9 divided by 2/3.

After that, you keep the first fraction, flip the sign and the fraction.

You will get: 5/9 multiplied by 3/2.

When you get this, you then cross multiply and simplify as such.

5/3 multiplied by 1/2.

5/6 would be your solution.
