Answer 2

If you have 4 apples and eat 2, what fraction do you have left? You don't have a fraction, you simply have 2 apples left.

 

If you had 4 apples in a bag and you ate 2, what fraction of a bag would you have left? Ans. 1/2. Do you see the difference?

Answer 3

how many bananas are left? How many did he start with?

 

If I started with 8 and ate 4, would you immediately realize that there were half left? 

8-4 = 4 

4/8 = 1/2 

 

so 7-4 = 3 

 

the fraction is how much is left divided by how much you started with. 

 

3 of 7 bananas are left, or 3/7ths
