you have 1.3l of petrol at the start so,
initial level-petrol used=final amount of petrol
=13/10 - 7/15
=39/30-14/30
=25/30
=5/6
=0.83 liters
initial level-petrol used=final amount of petrol
=13/10 - 7/15
=39/30-14/30
=25/30
=5/6
=0.83 liters

The petrol left at the end of your trip.
1 3/10-7/15 =13/10-7/15
=39/30-14/30 (lcd=30)
=25/30
=5/6 (reduce to lowest term)
Answer; 5/6 litre of petrol
1 3/10-7/15 =13/10-7/15
=39/30-14/30 (lcd=30)
=25/30
=5/6 (reduce to lowest term)

13/10- 7/15
= [39- 14]/30
=25/30
=5/6
= [39- 14]/30
=25/30
=5/6

1 - 7/15 = 8/15
3/10 = 9/30
8/15 = 16/30
9/30 + 16/30 = 25/30 = 5/6 LITRE answer
3/10 = 9/30
8/15 = 16/30
9/30 + 16/30 = 25/30 = 5/6 LITRE answer
