The expression you provided is:

\[
2 - \frac{1}{4}
\]

To subtract \(\frac{1}{4}\) from 2, we can rewrite 2 as a fraction with a denominator of 4, which would be \(\frac{8}{4}\). Now the expression becomes:

\[
\frac{8}{4} - \frac{1}{4}
\]

Perform the subtraction:

\[
\frac{8 - 1}{4} = \frac{7}{4}
\]

So, \( 2 - \frac{1}{4} = \frac{7}{4} \), which can also be written as **1.75** in decimal form.
