Then, there are 2 stars in each group.

For the case in which the stars are divided into 2 equal groups you have

Then, there are 3 stars in each group.

Now, 13 of 6 is the fraction

`(13)/(6)`

It remains like this because we cannot simplify more, and the result of dividing these two numbers is not an integer.

Finally, 12 of 14 is the fraction

`\begin{gathered} (12)/(14) \\ \text{Simplifying} \\ (12)/(14)=(2\cdot6)/(2\cdot7)=(6)/(7) \end{gathered}`

Then,

`(12)/(14)=(6)/(7)`
