\cfrac{4x+16}{6} = \cfrac{4(x+4)}{6} = \cfrac{2(x+4)}{3}

You are given the quantity 4 x plus 16 over 6 that is


(4x+16)/(6).

1. Note that numerator 4x+16 consists of two terms 4x and 16 that have common factor 4, then


4=4\cdot 1,\ 16=4\cdot 4

and


4x+16=4(x+4).

2. Since
6=2\cdot 3, then


(4x+16)/(6)=(4(x+4))/(2\cdot 3)=(2(x+4))/(3).

You get 2 open parentheses x plus 4 close parentheses over 3.

Answer: correct choice is 1
