I am able to solve if the digits are different by using the solution 6x5x4x3x2x1=720 but with the repeated numbers, I am not sure how to apply this method.

    How many ways are there to place the $9's$? After they are placed, how many ways are there to place the $5's$?

You need to divide by $3!$ for the nine's and by $2!$ for the fives, giving $60$.
