#81/5#

Explanation:

Write 9 as a fraction

#9/1# #-:# #5/9#

Now reciprocate the second part i.e: #5/9# becomes #9/5#. Whenever you reciprocate a fraction after a division sign, the sign chages to multiplication

#9/1# #*##9/5#

Multiply the numerators and then the denominators now to get

#81/5#
