Rika-san -pear blossom-

A project I am working on for my Japanese class is to cook something and video tape it, while speaking only Japanese, of course. My group has decided to bake Banana Bread, but the recipe has a fractions, and I don't know how to say one-fourth (1/4) and one-half (1/2).

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

According one one site I just found, you say the denominator, bun'no, and the numerator.

This is a quote from Japanese for busy people 1
Fractions (Bun means 'part')

1/2 ni-bun no ichi
1/4 yon-bun no ichi
2/3 san-bun no ni

I hope this helps
