We are asked to multiply 16 times 1/4.
To do that, we should first turn 16 into a fraction by giving it a denominator of 1:
[tex]\mathtt{\cfrac{16}{1}}[/tex]
Now, we multiply this fraction times 1/4; follow these three steps:
1. Multiply the numerator of the first fraction times the numerator of the second fraction:
16*1=16
2. Do the exact same thing with the denominator:
1*4=4
The fraction is:
[tex]\mathtt{\cfrac{16}{4}}[/tex]
Upon reducing the fraction, we get 4.
Hope it helps you out! :D
