$\frac{8}{13}$ $8/13$

Dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal.

So dividing by 2 is the same as $\times \frac{1}{2}$ $xx1/2$

Dividing by 3 is the same as $\times \frac{1}{3}$ $xx1/3$

$\frac{10}{13} \div \frac{5}{4} = \frac{10}{13} \times \frac{4}{5} cancel if possible$ $10/13 ÷5/4 = 10/13 xx4/5 " cancel if possible"$

$cancel10^2/13 xx4/cancel5$

= $8/13$
