To find the equivalent ratio of 16:4 as 4:x, we need to determine what x would be.
First, simplify the ratio 16:4 to its simplest form by dividing both numbers by their greatest common factor, which is 4.
16 ÷ 4 = 4
4 ÷ 4 = 1
So, the simplified ratio is 4:1.
Now, we know that if 4 equals 16, then x would equal 4.
Therefore, the equivalent ratio of 16:4 as 4:x is 4:4.
