Answer
$\dfrac{1}{4(x + y)}$
Work Step by Step
Rewrite this fraction as a division problem:
$\dfrac{1}{x + y} \div 4$
To divide one fraction by another, multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction:
$\dfrac{1}{x + y} \cdot \dfrac{1}{4}$
Multiply the numerators together, and multiply the denominators together:
$\dfrac{1}{4(x + y)}$
