Answer:
1 and 1/4
Explanation:
Each piece of tomato is a unit fraction of 1/4 of a whole tomato. The equation representing the total number of quarters of a whole tomato is 2 x (1/4) = 2/4. The multiplication shown in the image is 2 x (1/4) = 2/4. As a mixed number, this would be represented as 1 and 1/4.
