To find the remaining water in the pot, we need to subtract the amount poured out from the initial amount of water.
Initial amount of water: 6 3/10 liters
Amount poured out: 3 1/5 liters
Now, let's subtract the two amounts:
6 3/10 - 3 1/5
To simplify the subtraction, we need to find a common denominator for the fractions. The common denominator of 10 and 5 is 10.
6 3/10 can be expressed as 6 15/50
So, the calculation becomes:
6 15/50 - 3 10/50
Now, let's subtract the whole numbers: 6 - 3 = 3
And subtract the fractions: 15/50 - 10/50 = 5/50
Therefore, the final answer is 3 5/50 liters.
To simplify, we can divide both the numerator and denominator of the fraction by 5:
3/50
Thus, the remaining water in the pot is 3 1/10 liters.
