2(1)/(2)\text{ }(.)/(.)\text{ 3}(1)/(4)
(5)/(2)\text{ }(.)/(.)\text{ }(13)/(4)\text{ (By converting the mixed fraction into improper fraction)}

By changing the division sign to multiplication sign, the expression becomes:


\begin{gathered} (5)/(2)*(4)/(13) \\ \text{This equals:} \\ (20)/(26) \\ \text{Divide through by 2, we have:} \\ (10)/(13) \end{gathered}

Hence, the final answer is


(10)/(13)
