### Instruction:
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?

### Response:
In the blue basket, there are 12 bananas + 4 apples = <<12+4=16>>16 fruits.
The red basket holds half of this so there are 16 fruits in the blue basket / 2 = <<16/2=8>>8 fruits in the red basket.
