to simplify divide numerator and denominator by 2

2/2          1

------ = ---------

4/2          2        

Answer 2

Answer:

fractions that represent bananas are   $\frac{2}{4}$  &  $\frac{1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Total No. of Fruits = 4

           No. of Bananas in all fruits = 2

To find: 2 fractions that describe the no of bananas in fruits.

As, we know

$Fraction\: for\: given\: quantity = \frac{No.\: of\: given\: quantity}{Total \:no\: of\: quantities}$

⇒ Fraction for bananas = $\frac{2}{4}$

                                         = $\frac{1}{2}$  {Simplest term}

Therefore, 2 fractions that represent bananas are   $\frac{2}{4}$  &  $\frac{1}{2}$
