Consider the following proportion: $\frac{4}{1}=\frac{x}{69}$ (where x represents 4/1 of 69)

1. Using the cross-multiplication method, multiply both numerators by their opposite denominators: $4\times 69=1x$
2. Which gives: $276=1x$
3. Divide both sides by 1 to isolate x: $\frac{276}{1}=\frac{1x}{1}$
4. Which gives the result: $\frac{276}{1}=x$

Thus, 4/1 of 69 is equal to 276/1 (or 276 in its decimal form).
