Answer:
-----×1/72
Step-by-step explanation:
The <em>order of operations</em> says do these operations in order left to right. Please note that ÷ means the same as / unless you define it otherwise in your problem statement.
If you intend the ÷ symbol to be used to indicate everything to its left is divided by everything to its right, it is appropriate to use parentheses for that grouping, as in ...
(-----×1/4)÷(6×3/9) = (-----×1/4)÷2 = -----×1/8
_____
Here, we're going to evaluate what you have written according to the usual rules as described above.
(-----×1/4)÷6×3/9 = -----×1/24×3/9 = -----×(3/24)/9
= -----×1/8/9
= -----×1/72

<em>Comment on the arithmetic</em>
Fractions are multiplied and divided in the usual way:
a/b×c = (a×c)/b
a/b/c = (a/b) × (1/c) = a/(b×c)
___
<em>Comment on fractions and parentheses</em>
Please note that parentheses are required on any numerator or denominator that consists of anything other than a single number or variable. (The exception is the case where the numerator is a product, because a·b/c = (a·b)/c with or without the parentheses.)
