To find the quotient of -5/9 ÷ 1/5, we need to divide -5/9 by 1/5.
To divide fractions, we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction.
Reciprocal of 1/5 = 5/1
Multiplying -5/9 by 5/1, we get (-5/9) * (5/1) = -25/9
The quotient is -25/9.
Now, let's represent the answer as a mixed number.
Since the numerator (-25) is greater than the denominator (9), we can divide 25 by 9.
Dividing 25 by 9, we get 2 as the whole number part and a remainder of 7.
Therefore, the quotient as a mixed number is 2 and 7/9.
