\huge\textsf{Hey there!}



\mathsf{4 (2)/(3) - (3)/(4)}


\mathsf{= (4*3+2)/(3) - (3)/(4)}


\mathsf{= (12 + 2)/(3) - (3)/(4)}


\mathsf{= (14)/(3) - (3)/(4)}


\mathsf{= (56)/(11) - (9)/(12)}


\mathsf{= (14*4)/(12 - 0)}


\mathsf{= (56 - 9)/(12)}


\mathsf{= (47)/(12)}


\mathsf{= 3 (11)/(12)}


\huge\textsf{Therefore, your answer should be: }\huge\boxed{\\\mathsf{(47)/(12) \ or\ 3 (11)/(12)}}\huge\checkmark
