In dividing fraction, follow the instructions below:
1. Illustrate the equation; Enumerator to enumerator and denominator to denominator.
[tex] \frac{3}{5} [/tex] ÷ [tex] \frac{13}{20} [/tex]
2. Make the divisor reciprocal; The enumerator will be denominator and the denominator will be enumerator.
[tex] \frac{3}{5} [/tex] ÷ [tex] \frac{20}{13} [/tex]
3. Multiply enumerators and denominators.
[tex] \frac{3}{5} [/tex] × [tex] \frac{20}{13} [/tex] = [tex] \frac{60}{65} [/tex]
4. Simplify your answer.
[tex] \frac{60}{65} [/tex] = [tex] \frac{12}{13} [/tex]
