To find the quotient of \( \frac{13}{4} \) and \( \frac{7}{8} \), you can multiply \( \frac{13}{4} \) by the reciprocal of \( \frac{7}{8} \). So, \( \frac{13}{4} \div \frac{7}{8} = \frac{13}{4} \times \frac{8}{7} \). Now, multiply the numerators and the denominators: \[ \frac{13 \times 8}{4 \times 7} = \frac{104}{28} \] To simplify, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 4: \[ \frac{104 \div 4}{28 \div 4} = \frac{26}{7} \] Thus, the quotient of \( \frac{13}{4} \) and \( \frac{7}{8} \) in simplest form is \( \frac{26}{7} \).
