To divide a fraction by a whole number, you can simply multiply the fraction by the reciprocal of that whole number.
The reciprocal of 5 is 1/5.
Therefore, 8/9 ÷ 5 is the same as 8/9 * 1/5.
Multiplying the numerators and multiplying the denominators, we get (8 * 1) / (9 * 5) = 8/45.
So, the quotient of 8/9 ÷ 5 is 8/45.
