To evaluate two fractions being divided, you must turn the right fraction into a reciprocal. That means you must put the bottom number at the top and then put the top number on the bottom (you’re basically switching them).
8/13 / 3/2
Now, once you turned the other number into a reciprocal, you multiply across. The top number times the other top number and do this to the bottom numbers, too.
8/13 * 3/2 = 24/26
You found the answer, 24/26. But as you can see, it’s not one of the choices. That’s because you need to simplify.
24/26 / 2/2 = 12/13
12/13 is your answer, or choice C!

Answer:
4in : 1ft
Step-by-step explanation:
We start with:
3/4 in = 3/16 ft
This means that the length of 3/4 inches is the same as the length of 3/16 feet.
To reduce this, we can start by dividing by 3 in both sides of the equation:
(3/4)/3 in = (3/16)/3 ft
1/4 in = 1/16 ft
Now we can multiply both sides by 16:
16/4 in = 16/16ft
4 in = 1ft
now we reduced the ratio to:
4in : 1ft
