Janeen used 16 pieces of fruit to make her salad. If 1/4 of the fruits were peaches, how many peaches did she use? draw a picture

Let's say you have a rectangle. Because the fraction is 1/4, you would divide the box into 4 equal pieces. Each one is worth 4 fruits. If you shade in one of these equal pieces, you will find 4 peaches were used.

Hopefully, this is what you meant!

4 of her fruits were peaches, this is because 16 * ¹/₄ = 4.
