To find the number, we need to take one-quarter of the sum of the difference of a number and 3 and 2.

Let's call the number "x."

The difference between a number and 3 is x - 3.

The difference between a number and 2 is x - 2.

The sum of these two differences is (x - 3) + (x - 2).

To find one-quarter of this sum, we multiply it by 1/4: (1/4) * [(x - 3) + (x - 2)].

Simplifying the expression inside the parentheses, we get (1/4) * (2x - 5).

Multiplying the expression by 1/4, we then get 1/4 * 2x - 1/4 * 5.

This simplifies to (1/2)x - 5/4.

So, the number is (1/2)x - 5/4.

Apologies for the confusion. If the phrase "One quarter difference of a number and 3 and 2" means the difference between a number and both 3 and 2, then we can calculate it as follows:

Let's call the number "x."

The difference between a number and 3 is x - 3.

The difference between a number and 2 is x - 2.

To find the one-quarter difference between these two differences, we can calculate (1/4) * [(x - 3) - (x - 2)].

Simplifying this expression, we get (1/4) * (x - 3 - x + 2).

Further simplification yields (1/4) * (-1).

Therefore, the one-quarter difference between a number and 3 and 2 is -1/4.

This means that the number is 11.
