To divide fractions, we need to multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction.
5/9 ÷ 1/5 is the same as 5/9 * 5/1.
Multiplying the numerators gives us 5 * 5 = 25, and multiplying the denominators gives us 9 * 1 = 9.
Therefore, the quotient is 25/9.
To write it as a mixed number, we divide the numerator by the denominator:
25 ÷ 9 = 2 remainder 7
So, the quotient in mixed number form is 2 7/9.
