9/13

Explanation:

3÷4 5/15

I suggest you to simplify the mixed fraction then make it an improper fraction to make things easier in solving this.

So it would be:

4 5/15= 4 1/3 = 13/3

3÷ 13/3

Then, get the reciprocal of the improper fraction to make it a multiplication problem:
3•3/13

3 is the same as 3/1, so:
3/1•3/13=9/13
