Elena has 14 pieces of bannana bread. She gives an equal amount of bannana bread to 4 friends. How many peices of bannana bread does she give to each friend?

You have to divide the 14 pieces amongst 4 friends: 14/4. This can be simplified into a fraction. Since both the numerator and denominator can be divided by 2, you can simplify the fraction to 7/2 and make it into a mixed number 3 1/2, or decimal form 3.5. Each friend got three and a half pieces of banana bread.

3.5 pieces of banana bread is the answer because 14 / 4 = 3.5
