2. Draw figures to represent the number of 1/2 present in 4.

To represent the number of \(\frac{1}{2}\) present in 4, we can think of 4 as the sum of multiple \(\frac{1}{2}\) pieces. Specifically, we need to find how many \(\frac{1}{2}\) pieces add up to 4.

Mathematically, we can write:
\[ 4 = \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{2} + \cdots + \frac{1}{2} \]

Since \(\frac{1}{2}\) is half of 1, it takes 2 halves to make a whole number. Therefore, to make 4, we need:
\[ 4 \times 2 = 8 \]

So, there are 8 halves in 4. Let's illustrate this with figures:

Imagine each square represents 1 whole, and each half-square represents \(\frac{1}{2}\):

1. **Whole Numbers Representation:**

\[ 
\begin{array}{|c|c|c|c|}
\hline
1 & 1 & 1 & 1 \\
\hline
\end{array}
\]

2. **Halves Representation:**

\[ 
\begin{array}{|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|}
\hline
\frac{1}{2} & \frac{1}{2} & \frac{1}{2} & \frac{1}{2} & \frac{1}{2} & \frac{1}{2} & \frac{1}{2} & \frac{1}{2} \\
\hline
\end{array}
\]

So, in the second diagram, there are 8 halves. This visually represents the number of \(\frac{1}{2}\) present in 4.
