Question

simplify, using the distributive property. enter the number that belongs in the green box \\(\frac{1}{4}(16v + 4w) = ?v + \square w\\)

Explanation:

Step1: Apply distributive property

The distributive property states that \( \frac{1}{4}(16v + 4w)=\frac{1}{4}\times16v+\frac{1}{4}\times4w \).

Step2: Calculate coefficient of \( v \)

Calculate \( \frac{1}{4}\times16 \). \( \frac{1}{4}\times16 = \frac{16}{4}=4 \).

Answer:
