Explanation:

Step1: Identify the values

We know there are 5 strawberries and 4 banana slices. We need to find strawberries per banana slice, so we divide the number of strawberries by the number of banana slices.
Expression: $\frac{5}{4}$

Step2: Convert the improper fraction to a mixed number

$\frac{5}{4}$ can be written as a mixed number. 4 goes into 5 once with a remainder of 1, so $\frac{5}{4} = 1\frac{1}{4}$.
Expression: $1\frac{1}{4}$

Answer:

$1\frac{1}{4}$ strawberries per slice of banana (corresponding to the option: $1\frac{1}{4}$ strawberries per slice of banana)
