4 bananas
3 apples
8 oranges
1 grapefruit.
4+3+8+1=16 fruits in total.
since there are 4 bananas among the 16 pieces of fruit a ratio between bananas and total fruit can be established which is 4/16 which simplifies to 1/4 so there is a 1/4 chance of randomly drawing a banana from the 16 pieces of fruit.

the ratio of choosing a banana is 4/16 since there are 4 banana and 16 pieces of fruit in total including bananas so I got the ratio of 4/16 which is the probability of choosing a banana in relation to the total pieces of fruit and 4/16 simplifies into 1/4. If you were looking for a probability of not choosing then we need to find a relation between the probability of choosing any fruit besides bananas and the total number of pieces of fruit. so 16-4=12 excluding bananas so we get 12/16 which simplifies into 3/4. Is this the answer you were looking for?
