If you use the order of operations, all the divisions are at the same level so you would work left to right to get 1/1080.
If you meant to say (1/9)/(4/30), you would need to evaluate the parentheses first and then the answer would arrived at by utilizing the fact that dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by the reciprocal of the fraction, thus (1/9)/(4/30) = (1/9) * (30/4) = 30/36 = 5/6 in lowest terms.

1/9 divided by 4/30 =
1/9 x 30/4 = 1/3 x 5/2 = 5/6

= (1 / 9) x (30 / 4)
= 30 / 36
= 5 / 6

Because division of fractions is equivalent to taking the reciprocal of one fraction and multiplying it by the other, I chose to rewrite the expression 1/9÷4/30 as 9/1÷4/30. This produces the expression 36/30. After being simplified, the answer is 6/5 (1.2).
