Hey there!


Vick had 7/10 bucket of water. . . .

She used some of the water and now has 3/10 left . . .

Subtracts the numbers 7 and 3 to solve this:

7 - 3 = 4 <----

The correct answer to your question should be 4/10 of a bucket.

Vick used 4/10 of the bucket to wash the car.

Hope this helps you.
Have a great day!
