Since 1/4 and 16 are both powers of 2, we can figure this out "by hand".
For the numerator, just ask yourself: "What power of 2 is 1/4?" or "2 to what power equals 1/4?" The answer to these equations will be your numerator. Hint:
For the denominator, just ask yourself: "What power of 2 is 16?" or "2 to what power equals 16?" The answer to these equations will be your denominator. This should not be hard to figure out if you just try different powers of 2.
Your final, fully simplified answer should be:
P.S. This may be just a coincidence by your original expression is what you get if you apply the change of base formula:
to change
into base 2 logarithms.
