Since the bucket was 7/10 full with water and after he used it it was left 3/10 of the bucket, in order to find out the fraction of the water Vick used to wash the car we follow this route:
We just need to subtract 7/10 with 3/10 to find out the difference and that will be the result we need.
Since the denominator is the same we can just subtract the numerators together.
7/10-3/10 = (7-3)/10
=4/10
