So first let's set up the equation. x/4 = 14/16 Now to find the value of x, we cross-multiply. So x · 16 = 14 · 4 Now we get 16x = 56 To find x we need to get x by itself on one side. To do this we divide 16 on both sides of the equation 16x/16 = 56/16 Simplify and we get x = 7/2 or 3.5 Hope I helped!
