Answer 2

Given :

An oil tin contains 3 3/4 litres of oil of which 2 1/2 liters of oil is used.

To find :

How much oil is left over?

Solution:

Amount of oil in a tin = $3 \frac{3}{4}$

Amount of oil in a tin = $\frac{15}{4}$

Amount of oil used =$2 \frac{1}{2}$

Amount of oil used $=\frac{5}{2}$

So, Amount of oil left = $\frac{15}{4}-\frac{5}{2}$

Amount of oil left = $\frac{5}{4}$

Amount of oil left $=1 \frac{1}{4}$

Hence$1 \frac{1}{4}$ liters of oil is left
