There are 12 bananas and 4 apples in the blue basket. The red basket holds half as many fruits as the blue basket. How many fruits are in the red basket? Give me reasons, before answering the question
In the blue basket, there are 12 bananas + 4 apples = 16 fruits. The red basket holds half of this so there are 16 fruits in the blue basket / 2 = 8 fruits in the red basket. So the final answer is 8.
