#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#
