To divide 4 by \( \frac{3}{4} \), you can multiply 4 by the reciprocal of \( \frac{3}{4} \):

\[
4 \div \frac{3}{4} = 4 \times \frac{4}{3}
\]

Now, perform the multiplication:

\[
4 \times \frac{4}{3} = \frac{16}{3}
\]

To express this as a mixed number, you can divide 16 by 3:

\[
16 \div 3 = 5 \quad \text{with a remainder of } 1
\]

Thus, you can write this as:

\[
\frac{16}{3} = 5 \frac{1}{3}
\]

So, the final answer is:

\[
4 \div \frac{3}{4} = 5 \frac{1}{3}
\]

I apologize for not filling in the blank. The completed statement should read:

You can think of this as "how many equal groups of \( \frac{3}{4} \) are there in 4?"

So, the answer to the statement is:

4 ÷ \( \frac{3}{4} \) = **5 \( \frac{1}{3} \)**

And to clarify, there are **5 \( \frac{1}{3} \)** groups of \( \frac{3}{4} \) in 4.
