Answer 1

As the banana is 7 inches long and each piece is 1/2 inches you divide 7 into 1/2 to find how many slices of banana can be cut:

Division of fractions:

`((a)/(b))/((c)/(d))=(a\cdot d)/(b\cdot c)`

Yo have: 7/1 divided into 1/2:

`((7)/(1))/((1)/(2))=(7\cdot2)/(1\cdot1)=14`Then, in a banana of 7inches you can cut 14 slices of 1/2inch
