Answer:    

18

Step-by-step explanation:

  1. Turn the mixed number into an improper fractions: 13 × 2 = 26, 26 + 1 = 27
  2. Re-write improper fraction: [tex]\frac{27}{2}[/tex]  
  3. [tex]\frac{27}{2}[/tex] ÷ [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{27}{2}[/tex] × [tex]\frac{4}{3}[/tex]  
  4. [tex]\frac{27}{2}[/tex] × [tex]\frac{4}{3} = \frac{108}{6}[/tex]  
  5. 108/6 = 18

I hope this helps!
