Given the equation:

5/3 divided by 4/9

Solution:

In dividing fractions, we must take note that we should not divide the fraction directly, instead we take the reciprocal of the denominator and multiply it with the numerator. In our case, the reciprocal of 4/9 is 9/4, hence we multiply 9/4 with 5/3.

= (9/4)(5/3)

= 45/12

Final answer:

= 45/12
