The problem is asking you to subtract two fractions: 

\[
\frac{11}{4} - \frac{1}{5}
\]

### Step-by-step solution:
1. **Find the Least Common Denominator (LCD):**
   - The denominators are 4 and 5.
   - The LCD of 4 and 5 is \(4 \times 5 = 20\).

2. **Convert each fraction to have the same denominator:**
   - \(\frac{11}{4} = \frac{11 \times 5}{4 \times 5} = \frac{55}{20}\)
   - \(\frac{1}{5} = \frac{1 \times 4}{5 \times 4} = \frac{4}{20}\)

3. **Subtract the numerators:**
   \[
   \frac{55}{20} - \frac{4}{20} = \frac{55 - 4}{20} = \frac{51}{20}
   \]

The answer is:

\[
\frac{51}{20}
\]

This is already in its simplest form since 51 and 20 have no common factors other than 1.
