To solve the equation \(16 + 28 = \text{blank} \times (4 + 7)\), we first need to calculate the left-hand side:
\[
16 + 28 = 44
\]
Next, we find the value of \(4 + 7\):
\[
4 + 7 = 11
\]
Now, we can set up the equation using the values we found:
\[
44 = \text{blank} \times 11
\]
To find the missing value (blank), we divide both sides by 11:
\[
\text{blank} = \frac{44}{11} = 4
\]
Therefore, the missing value is:
\[
\boxed{4}
\]
\[
16 + 28 = 44
\]
Next, we find the value of \(4 + 7\):
\[
4 + 7 = 11
\]
Now, we can set up the equation using the values we found:
\[
44 = \text{blank} \times 11
\]
To find the missing value (blank), we divide both sides by 11:
\[
\text{blank} = \frac{44}{11} = 4
\]
Therefore, the missing value is:
\[
\boxed{4}
\]
