You divide total potatoes by potatoes per batch: (13/2) ÷ (3/4). That is equivalent to multiplying by the reciprocal: (13/2) × (4/3).

So check:
- StartFraction 13 over 2 EndFraction divided by three-fourths — yes.
- StartFraction 13 over 2 EndFraction (four-thirds) — yes.

(3/4) ÷ (13/2) and the plain products 3/4 × (13/2) or (13/2) × (3/4) are not correct for "number of batches." The value is (13/2) ÷ (3/4) = (13/2) × (4/3) = 26/3 = 8 2/3 batches.
