The equation that best represents the relationship between the number of loaves of bread which is denoted by b and the number of cups of bananas which is denoted by c is c = 2 1/4b.

We know that we need 11 ¼ cups of bananas is needed to make 5 loaves of bread.

We need to divide 11 ¼ to 5 which the answer is 2 ¼. The 2 ¼ represents how many cups is needed to make 1 loaf of bread.
