To solve this expression, we can follow the order of operations, which is parentheses, exponents, multiplication and division (from left to right), and addition and subtraction (from left to right).

First, let's simplify the multiplication and division within the expression:

(9) ÷ (54) × (79) × (-5) ÷ (72)
= (1/6) × (79) × (-5) ÷ (72) (since 9 divided by 54 equals 1/6)
= (1/6) × 79 × (-5) ÷ (72)
= (1/6) × 79 × -5 ÷ (72)
= (1/6) × -395 ÷ (72)
= -65.8333333

So, the answer is approximately -65.8333333.
Wrong
My apologies for the mistake. Let's solve the expression correctly.

(9) ÷ (54) × (79) × (-5) ÷ (72)

First, let's perform the division:

(9) ÷ (54) = 1/6

Now, let's multiply the remaining numbers from left to right:

1/6 × 79 × (-5) ÷ (72) = (1/6) × 79 × (-5/1) ÷ 72

Performing the multiplication and division:

(1/6) × 79 × (-5/1) ÷ 72 = (79 × (-5)) ÷ (6 × 72) = (-395) ÷ (432)

Finally, let's divide:

(-395) ÷ (432) = -0.9143518

So, the answer is approximately -0.9143518.
