Math Problem Statement

3 5 - 4

Solution

The expression 5345 - \frac{3}{4} can be simplified as follows:

  1. Rewrite 55 as 204\frac{20}{4} to have a common denominator with 34\frac{3}{4}. 5=2045 = \frac{20}{4}

  2. Subtract 34\frac{3}{4} from 204\frac{20}{4}: 20434=2034=174\frac{20}{4} - \frac{3}{4} = \frac{20 - 3}{4} = \frac{17}{4}

  3. Leave the answer as an improper fraction, 174\frac{17}{4}, or convert it to a mixed number: 174=414\frac{17}{4} = 4 \, \frac{1}{4}

Final Answer:

174 or 414\boxed{\frac{17}{4} \text{ or } 4 \, \frac{1}{4}}
