Step 1: Convert $ 1\frac{3}{8} $ to improper fraction
$ 1\frac{3}{8} = \frac{8 \times 1 + 3}{8} = \frac{11}{8} $
Step 2: Change division to multiplication by reciprocal
$ \frac{13}{12} \div \frac{11}{8} = \frac{13}{12} \times \frac{8}{11} $
Step 3: Multiply
$ \frac{13 \times 8}{12 \times 11} = \frac{104}{132} $
Step 4: Simplify
Divide numerator and denominator by 4:
$ \frac{104 \div 4}{132 \div 4} = \frac{26}{33} $
✔ Answer: $ \boxed{\frac{26}{33}} $
