Jesse uses 13 pints of paint for 5 paintings. How many pints does he use for each painting? How many paintings will he complete if he uses 44 pints? How many pints will he need for 29 paintings?

Answer 1

He uses 13 pints / 5 paintings = <<13/5=2.6>>2.6 pints per painting
To use 44 pints of paint, he will complete 44 pints / 2.6 pints per painting = <<44/2.6=16.92>>16.92 paintings, or approximately 17 paintings.
For 29 paintings, he will need 29 paintings * 2.6 pints per painting = <<29*2.6=75.4>>75.4 pints of paint. Answer: \boxed{75}.
