$\frac{45}{2}$ $45/2$

Explanation:

Proceed using the following steps.

$∙ Leave the first number$ $• " Leave the first number"$

$∙ Change division to multiplication$ $• " Change division to multiplication"$

$∙ Invert (turn upside down) the second number$ $• " Invert (turn upside down) the second number"$

$∙ Cancel, if possible, and simplify$ $• " Cancel, if possible, and simplify"$

$\Rightarrow 5 \div \frac{2}{9}$ $rArr5÷2/9$

$= 5 \times \frac{9}{2} \leftarrow change to multiplication / invert$ $=5xx9/2larrcolor(red)"change to multiplication / invert"$

There is no cancelling, so simplify by multiplying values remaining on numerator/denominator.

$\Rightarrow \frac{5}{1} \times \frac{9}{2}$ $rArr5/1xx9/2$

$= \frac{5 \times 9}{1 \times 2}$ $=(5xx9)/(1xx2)$

$=452← as a fraction$ $=45/2larr" as a fraction"$

$= 22 \frac{1}{2} \leftarrow as a mixed number$ $=22 1/2larr" as a mixed number"$
