Ok, Jasmine,
Divide:
4%2Fmby5m%2F9
Remember, to divide fractions, you copy the first fraction, flip the divide sign to multiply, and flip (invert) the second fraction. (Copy, Flip, Flip)
%284%2Fm%29%2A%289%2F5m%29 Multiply the numerators together and multply the denominators together.
%284%2A9%29%2F%28m%2A5m%29 Simplify.
36%2F5m%5E2 ...and this is what you get!
