Answer:

4/45

Explanation:

when dividing fractions, you multiply the first fraction by the second fraction's reciprocal :

1/9 divided by 5/4

1/9 multiplied by 4/5

essentially, you switch the signs from division to multiplication, and reverse the second fraction.

1/9 multiplied by 4/5

1/9*4/5 = 4/45
