Question

To solve the problem step by step, we start with identifying how much paint Jesse uses for each painting, and then we can answer the subsequent questions.

1. How many pints does he use for each painting?

   Jesse uses 13 pints for 5 paintings. The amount of paint per painting can be calculated as:

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

2. How many paintings will he complete if he uses 44 pints?

   To find out how many paintings can be completed with 44 pints, we calculate:

   \[ \text{Number of paintings} = \frac{44 \text{ pints}}{2.6 \text{ pints/painting}} \approx 16.92 \text{ paintings} \]

   Since he can't complete a fraction of a painting, this result indicates that Jesse can complete 16 paintings fully.

3. How many pints will he need for 29 paintings?

   To calculate how many pints are needed for 29 paintings, we multiply the pints per painting by the number of paintings:

   \[ \text{Pints needed} = 29 \text{ paintings} \times 2.6 \text{ pints/painting} = 75.4 \text{ pints} \]

So, summarizing the results:

• Pints per painting: 2.6
• Number of paintings from 44 pints: 16 (rounded down)
• Pints needed for 29 paintings: 75.4

Now we can choose the correct responses from the provided options:

The option that contains the correct answers is:

Pints Paintings
13 5
2.6 1
