Answer 2

`4`

Explanation:

The expression that represents this is:

`(1)/(4) =(x)/(16)`

where
`x` is the number we want to find.

to solve this we multiply everything by 16 to leave the x cleared on the right side :

`(16)/(4) =x`

and since
`(16)/(4) =4` we get the following

`4= x`

the number is 4
