What is the quotient of 8/9÷5? Simplify your answer if needed.

Answer 1

To divide a fraction by a whole number, we can simply multiply the fraction by the reciprocal of the whole number.

The reciprocal of 5 is 1/5.

So, 8/9 ÷ 5 can be rewritten as 8/9 x 1/5.

Multiplying the numerators (8 x 1) gives us 8.

Multiplying the denominators (9 x 5) gives us 45.

Therefore, the quotient of 8/9 ÷ 5 is 8/45.
