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!

I hope this helped. Comment below if you have any questions.
