Sure. Let's evaluate the expression "5 3 4 * + 2 /". We'll use a stack to perform the evaluation.

Expression: 5 3 4 * + 2 /
Stack:
Read 5: Push 5 onto the stack.
Stack: 5
Read 3: Push 3 onto the stack.
Stack: 5 3
Read 4: Push 4 onto the stack.
Stack: 5 3 4
Read *: Pop 4 and 3, perform multiplication (4 * 3 = 12), push the result (12) onto the stack.
Stack: 5 12
Read +: Pop 12 and 5, perform addition (12 + 5 = 17), push the result (17) onto the stack.
Stack: 17
Read 2: Push 2 onto the stack.
Stack: 17 2
Read /: Pop 2 and 17, perform division (17 / 2 = 8.5), push the result (8.5) onto the stack.
Stack: 8.5
 

The final result is 8.5.
