To solve the expression (9) ÷ (54) × (79) × (-5) ÷ (72), you need to follow the order of operations, which means performing the division and multiplication from left to right.

First, perform the division:
(9) ÷ (54) = 1/6

Next, perform the multiplication:
1/6 × (79) = 79/6

Then, multiply by (-5):
79/6 × (-5) = -395/6

Finally, divide by (72):
-395/6 ÷ 72 = -395/432

Therefore, the solution is -395/432.
