\huge\textsf{Hey there!}


\mathsf{(9)/(10) / (1)/(5)}


\mathsf{= (9)/(10)*(5)/(1)}


\mathsf{= (9*5)/(10*1)}


\mathsf{9 * 5 = \boxed{\bf 45} \ (numerator)}


\mathsf{10* 1 = \boxed{\bf 10} \ (denominator)}


\mathsf{= (45)/(10)}

BOTH NUMBERS HAVE the GCF (Greatest Common Multiple) of 5, so we are going to DIVIDE BOTH THE NUMERATORS by 5


\mathsf{= (45/5)/(10/5)}


\mathsf{45/ 5 = \boxed{\bf 9} \ (numerator)}


\mathsf{10 / 5 = \boxed{\bf 2} \ (denominator)}


\mathsf{= (9)/(2)}

CONVERT YOUR CURRENT FRACTION to a MIXED NUMBER


\mathsf{= 4(1)/(2)}


\boxed{\boxed{\large\text{Answer: }\mathsf{\bf 4 (1)/(2)}\large\text{ \bf or }\mathsf{\bf (9)/(2)}}}\huge\checkmark
