Fill in the Blank

An assistant store manager is setting up a spreadsheet to calculate monthly performance bonuses. The efficiency index is modeled by the complex rational expression 13c+41c+4+c3\frac{1-\frac{3}{c+4}}{\frac{1}{c+4}+\frac{c}{3}}, where cc represents the average customer feedback rating. To make the spreadsheet formula simpler and faster to compute, the manager wants to replace this complex fraction with its simplified, single-fraction form. According to the standard algebraic simplification procedure, after simplifying the numerator and denominator and dividing out all common factors, what is the final simplified expression the manager should use? Enter your answer as a simplified fraction using a slash, such as a/(b+c), with no spaces.
