  Yes, we can subtract 2/5 from 3/4.

  To subtract fractions with different denominators, we need to first find a common denominator.

  The least common denominator (LCD) of 4 and 5 is 20.

  Now, we can convert the fractions to have a common denominator of 20:

  3/4 = 15/20

  2/5 = 8/20

  Now, we can perform the subtraction:

  15/20 – 8/20 = 7/20

  Therefore, the result of subtracting 2/5 from 3/4 is 7/20.
