Nested Fraction
1. **State the problem:** Simplify the expression $$1 - \frac{\frac{1}{2} - 3}{1 - \frac{1}{4} \div \left(1 - \frac{1}{3}\right)}$$.
2. **Simplify the numerator:** Calculate $$\frac{1}{2} - 3$$.
$$\frac{1}{2} - 3 = \frac{1}{2} - \frac{6}{2} = -\frac{5}{2}$$.
3. **Simplify the denominator:** First simplify the inner parentheses:
$$1 - \frac{1}{3} = \frac{3}{3} - \frac{1}{3} = \frac{2}{3}$$.
4. **Calculate the division inside the denominator:**
$$\frac{1}{4} \div \frac{2}{3} = \frac{1}{4} \times \frac{3}{2} = \frac{3}{8}$$.
5. **Complete the denominator:**
$$1 - \frac{3}{8} = \frac{8}{8} - \frac{3}{8} = \frac{5}{8}$$.
6. **Rewrite the original expression:**
$$1 - \frac{-\frac{5}{2}}{\frac{5}{8}}$$.
7. **Simplify the fraction inside:**
$$\frac{-\frac{5}{2}}{\frac{5}{8}} = -\frac{5}{2} \times \frac{8}{5} = -4$$.
8. **Final calculation:**
$$1 - (-4) = 1 + 4 = 5$$.
**Answer:** The value of the expression is $$5$$.
