1. **State the problem:** We need to find the value of a fraction equivalent to $\frac{28}{70}$ with denominator 4.
2. **Recall the rule for equivalent fractions:** Two fractions $\frac{a}{b}$ and $\frac{c}{d}$ are equivalent if $a \times d = b \times c$.
3. **Set up the equation:** Let the numerator of the equivalent fraction be $x$. Then:
$$\frac{x}{4} = \frac{28}{70}$$
4. **Cross multiply:**
$$x \times 70 = 28 \times 4$$
5. **Calculate the right side:**
$$x \times 70 = 112$$
6. **Solve for $x$:**
$$x = \frac{112}{70}$$
7. **Simplify the fraction:**
$$x = \frac{\cancel{112}^{16} \div 7}{\cancel{70}^{10} \div 7} = \frac{16}{10}$$
8. **Simplify further:**
$$x = \frac{\cancel{16}^{8} \div 2}{\cancel{10}^{5} \div 2} = \frac{8}{5}$$
9. **Interpret the result:** The numerator $x = \frac{8}{5}$ is not an integer, so there is no integer numerator $x$ such that $\frac{x}{4}$ is exactly equal to $\frac{28}{70}$. However, if we allow $x$ to be a fraction, the equivalent fraction with denominator 4 is $\frac{8}{5} / 4 = \frac{8}{5}$ which is not a proper fraction with denominator 4.
10. **Alternative approach:** Find an equivalent fraction with denominator 4 by simplifying $\frac{28}{70}$ first:
$$\frac{28}{70} = \frac{2 \times 14}{5 \times 14} = \frac{2}{5}$$
11. **Find equivalent fraction with denominator 4:**
$$\frac{x}{4} = \frac{2}{5}$$
12. **Cross multiply:**
$$5x = 8$$
13. **Solve for $x$:**
$$x = \frac{8}{5}$$
14. **Conclusion:** The fraction $\frac{28}{70}$ simplifies to $\frac{2}{5}$, and the equivalent fraction with denominator 4 is $\frac{8}{5}$, which is not a fraction with integer numerator and denominator 4.
**Final answer:** There is no integer numerator $x$ such that $\frac{x}{4} = \frac{28}{70}$. The equivalent fraction with denominator 4 is $\frac{8}{5}$ (non-integer numerator).
