Answer:

18 customers

Step-by-step explanation:

you have to divide 13 1/2 by 3/4

you can change 13 1/2 to 27/2

remember, when dividing fractions you multiply by the reciprocal

[tex]\frac{27}{2}[/tex] ÷ [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] is solved as follows:

[tex]\frac{27}{2}[/tex] × [tex]\frac{4}{3}[/tex] = 108 ÷ 6 which is 18
