Answer:

3 3/5

Explanation:

9/13 ÷5/26

We can use copy dot flip

Take the first number and copy it

9/13

Change the division to multiplication

9/13 *

Flip the second number

9/13 * 26/5

I will rewrite the fractions for easier cancellation

9/5 * 26/13

9/5 * 2/1

18/5

5 goes into 18 3 times 3*5 = 15 with 3 left over

3 3/5
