A.16/39
B.12/13
C.11/15
D.24/13

Answer 1

The last choice or choice D Standards of evaluation or Second choice or Choice B Scores from the evaluation...I am stuck between the two.

Answer 2

B. 12/13

Explanation:

The answer choices suggest that you intend the problem to be interpreted as ...

(8/13)/(2/3) . . . . . parentheses are required

= (8/13) × (3/2) = (8·3)/(13·2) = (8·3)/(2·13)

= (8/2) × (3/13) . . . . making use of the associative property

= 4 × 3/13 = 12/13

Your calculator can help with these. You do need to get the parentheses right.
