Answer:


\boxed{(35)/(9) \text{ or } 3(8)/(9)}

Explanation:

We can rewrite 5 as a fraction and then multiply across.

======================================================


5 * (7)/(9)\\\rule{150}{0.5}\\\text{5 can be rewritten as: } (5)/(1) \\\\(5)/(1) *(7)/(9)\\\\(5*7)/(1*9)\\\\\boxed{(35)/(9)}

======================================================

Since it is unclear weather to have a mixed fraction or improper fraction, I will list both.

======================================================

9 can fit into 35 three times with 8 left over.


(35)/(9)=\boxed{3(8)/(9)}

======================================================

Hope this helps!
