Answer 1

Answer: the answer is F ( 10)

Step-by-step explanation: 4 times 13 equals 52 and 26 times 20 equals 520 so 520 divided by 52 equals 10.

Answer 2

`(4)/(26) * (13)/(20)`

-------------------------------------
Divide by factor of 4.
-------------------------------------
*Or divide by the factor of 2 twice


`(1 * 4)/(26) * (13)/(5 * 4)`


`(1)/(26) * (13)/(5)`

-------------------------------------
Divide by factor of 13.
-------------------------------------


`(1)/(2 * 13) * \ (1 * 13)/(5)`


`(1)/(2) * (1 )/(5)`

-------------------------------------
Combine into single fraction.
-------------------------------------

`(1)/(10)`
