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?(1 point)

To determine how many pints Jesse uses for each painting and the other questions, let's break it down step by step.

1. Pints per painting: Jesse uses 13 pints for 5 paintings. The amount of paint used for each painting is calculated as follows:

   \[ \text{Pints per painting} = \frac{\text{Total pints}}{\text{Total paintings}} = \frac{13}{5} = 2.6 \text{ pints per painting} \]

2. Number of paintings from 44 pints: To determine how many paintings Jesse can complete with 44 pints, use the formula:

   \[ \text{Number of paintings} = \frac{\text{Total pints available}}{\text{Pints per painting}} = \frac{44}{2.6} \approx 16.92 \]

   This means he can complete approximately 16 paintings (if we don't consider partial paintings).

3. Pints needed for 29 paintings: To find out how many pints are needed for 29 paintings, we multiply the number of paintings by the pints per painting:

   \[ \text{Total pints needed} = \text{Number of paintings} \times \text{Pints per painting} = 29 \times 2.6 = 75.4 \text{ pints} \]

Now, let's match these calculations against the provided options:

• Pints per painting: 2.6
• Paintings possible with 44 pints: 16.92
• Pints needed for 29 paintings: 75.4

The matching response is:

Pints Paintings 13 5 2.6 1 44 16.92 75.4 29
