Question

James is separating fruit equally into 2 boxes. He has 2 bananas, 6 apples, and 0 oranges. How many of each item are in each box?

Answer 1

To separate the fruit equally into 2 boxes, we need to divide the total number of each type of fruit by 2.

1. **Bananas**: James has 2 bananas.
- In each box: \( \frac{2 \text{ bananas}}{2} = 1 \text{ banana} \)

2. **Apples**: James has 6 apples.
- In each box: \( \frac{6 \text{ apples}}{2} = 3 \text{ apples} \)

3. **Oranges**: James has 0 oranges.
- In each box: \( \frac{0 \text{ oranges}}{2} = 0 \text{ oranges} \)

So, in each box, there will be:
- 1 banana
- 3 apples
- 0 oranges

Thus, the final distribution is:
- **Box 1**: 1 banana, 3 apples, 0 oranges
- **Box 2**: 1 banana, 3 apples, 0 oranges
