To find out how many pints of paint Jesse uses for each painting, divide the total amount of paint used by the number of paintings: 13 pints / 5 paintings = <<13/5=2.6>>2.6 pints/painting.
To find out how many paintings Jesse can complete with 44 pints of paint, divide the total amount of paint by the amount used per painting: 44 pints / 2.6 pints/painting = <<44/2.6=16.923076923076923>>16.92 paintings. Since Jesse cannot have a fraction of a painting, he will complete 16 paintings.
To find out how many pints Jesse will need for 29 paintings, multiply the amount used per painting by the number of paintings: 2.6 pints/painting * 29 paintings = <<2.6*29=75.4>>75.4 pints. Again, since Jesse cannot have fractions of a pint, he will need 76 pints.
