2/4 = 50%
You might see a value like 2/4, or 50%, when half the seats on a bus are taken or half a pizza is left. It’s a simple way to describe an even split.
To picture it quickly, imagine dividing something into four equal parts and shading two of them. That’s the same as having half the whole thing.
A common point of confusion is thinking 2/4 is different from 1/2 because the numbers look different. They represent the same amount, as long as the parts are equal in size.
