Answer:

4/10

Explanation:

To find out how much more glue Mai needs, we need to subtract the amount of glue she already has from the total amount she needs:

Total amount of glue needed - Amount of glue Mai already has = Amount of glue Mai still needs

The total amount of glue Mai needs is 7/10 pints, and the amount she already has is 3/10 pints:

7/10 - 3/10 = 4/10

Therefore, Mai still needs 4/10 pints of glue to complete her art project, which can be simplified to 2/5.
