You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(5 - \frac{\frac{3 \cdot 4}{6 \cdot 2}}{4}\)

MathBot Answer:

\[5 - \frac{\frac{3 \cdot 4}{6 \cdot 2}}{4} = \frac{19}{4} = 4.75\]


\[\begin{aligned}5 - \frac{\frac{3 \cdot 4}{6 \cdot 2}}{4}& = 5 - 3 \cdot 4 \cdot \frac{1}{6 \cdot 2} \cdot \frac{1}{4}\\& = 5 - 3 \cdot \frac{4}{12} \cdot \frac{1}{4}\\& = 5 - 3 \cdot \frac{4}{48}\\& = 5 - \frac{12}{48}\\& = 5 - \frac{1}{4}\\& = \frac{19}{4}\end{aligned}\]
