\bf \cfrac{\textit{medium hats}}{\textit{small hats}}\qquad \qquad \cfrac{26}{2}=\cfrac{39}{13}\implies \cfrac{~~\begin{matrix} 2 \\[-0.7em]\cline{1-1}\\[-5pt]\end{matrix}~~\cdot 13}{~~\begin{matrix} 2 \\[-0.7em]\cline{1-1}\\[-5pt]\end{matrix}~~}=\cfrac{~~\begin{matrix} 3 \\[-0.7em]\cline{1-1}\\[-5pt]\end{matrix}~~\cdot 13}{~~\begin{matrix} 3 \\[-0.7em]\cline{1-1}\\[-5pt]\end{matrix}~~}\implies 13= 13~~\textit{\Large \checkmark}
