Whenever we divide a fraction by another fraction, we are basically multiplying the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction.

Let's use it to divide:


\begin{gathered} ((1)/(6))/((5)/(9)) \\ =(1)/(6)*(9)/(5) \\ =(1*9)/(6*5) \\ =(9)/(30) \\ =(3)/(10) \end{gathered}

The answer (quotient) is 3/10
