Answer:
(1)/(4)n-2

This is the same as
(n)/(4) - 2 and it is also equivalent to
0.25n-2

=====================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

n is some placeholder for a number

one fourth of that number is
(1)/(4)n which is the same as
(n)/(4) or
0.25n since 1/4 = 0.25

From here, we subtract off 2 to get
(1)/(4)n-2 as one possible final answer.
