5 fitfh and 5 over 9.

Let's write the statement as an expression and evelaute.

We have:


\begin{gathered} 5\text{ fifth=}(5)/(5)=1 \\ \\ 5\text{ over 9 = }(5)/(9) \end{gathered}

Therefore, the expression can be written as:


\begin{gathered} (5)/(5)+(5)/(9) \\ \\ =1+(5)/(9) \\ \\ =1(5)/(9) \end{gathered}
