Answer:

1/4 or 0.25 (as a decimal)

Explanation:

We know that v has an unknown value.

When it is multiplied by 16, we would get the product.

Turn it into an equation:

16x = 4

Find x:

4 ÷ 16 = 0.25 or 1/4

Now we’ve find x:

16 x 1/4 = 4

Which is a true equation

So x equals 0.25 or 1/4 (as a fraction)

I’d recommend choose fraction bu whatever is up to you!
