Yes, the distributive property can be applied in different contexts, but in the case of the expression "4 divided by (4 - 2)", it is more about simplifying rather than rewriting using the distributive property.

However, if you are looking for an example of how to express the operation with division and the difference, you might consider:

\( 4 \div (4 - 2) = 4 \div 2 \)

To fill in the blanks potentially using some distributive context, we could phrase it as:

"4 divided by (4 - 2) can be rewritten as \( 4 \div (4 - 2) \) = \( 4 \div 2 \)."

Please clarify if you needed a different application or usage!
