Answer:

5/8 / 9 = 5/72

Explanation:

5/8 / 9 = 5/72

Anytime you divide with a fraction remember this:

Same, change, flip:

You keep the first fraction, which is 5/8, the same.

Then you change the division sign to a multiplication sign.

After that, you flip the 9/1 (which is the same thing as 9) to 1/9.

So it would be 5/8 x 1/9.

If you multiply that, you can 5/72.

Therefore, 5/72 is your answer.

I hope this helped.
