We can set up a proportion to solve this problem.
Let x represent the number of kiwi fruit Lisa can buy with $4.
We can write the proportion: 32/16 = x/4.
To solve for x, we can cross-multiply and solve for x.
Cross-multiplying gives: 32 * 4 = 16 * x.
Simplifying gives: 128 = 16x.
To solve for x, we can divide both sides of the equation by 16.
128/16 = x.
Simplifying gives: 8 = x.
Therefore, Lisa can buy 8 kiwi fruit with $4.
