5/13 is the fraction of cousins that are male.

Answer: 5/13 of the cousins are male.

Step-by-step explanation:

If there are 26 cousins and sixteen are female, then subtract 16 from the total to find how many are male then divide it  by the total.

26 - 16 = 10    so 10 of them are male.

10/26 = simplifies to 5/13
