Unless I have misunderstood your question, five sixths out of ninety is the same as 90 minus five sixths. The answer would be 89 and one sixth. But the language is awkward. For example, you may hear in an ad: "seven out of ten parents agree...", which clearly would mean seventy percent of parents. Interpreting the question this way would lead you to think the answer might be something like "5 sixths out of 540 sixths", or roughly .00925. This doesn't strike me as a satisfying interpretation of the question; it would work more with two terms that are both whole numbers. I can only conclude that whether accidentally or by design, the langauge is bad.
