To solve the expression \( 4:2 + 5 - 4 \), we first need to interpret the notation correctly. Here, \( 4:2 \) typically denotes division, so it can be rewritten as:
\[ \frac{4}{2} + 5 - 4 \]
Now, we can perform the calculations step by step:
Calculate \( \frac{4}{2} \): \[ \frac{4}{2} = 2 \]
Substitute that back into the expression: \[ 2 + 5 - 4 \]
Now, add \( 2 + 5 \): \[ 2 + 5 = 7 \]
Finally, subtract \( 4 \): \[ 7 - 4 = 3 \]
The final result is \( 3 \).
