To find the quotient of 8/9 ÷ 5, we divide 8/9 by 5.
We can start by converting 5 to a fraction with a denominator of 9: 5 = 5/1.
To divide fractions, we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal (or inverse) of the second fraction.
Therefore:
8/9 ÷ 5/1 = 8/9 * 1/5.
Next, we multiply the numerators together and the denominators together:
8/9 * 1/5 = (8 * 1) / (9 * 5) = 8/45.
Thus, the quotient of 8/9 ÷ 5 is 8/45.
