Answer 1

The correct answer is:

Jesse uses 13 pints of paint for 5 paintings, so he uses an average of 13/5 = 2.6 pints for each painting.

If he uses 44 pints, he can do 44/2.6 = 16.92 paintings. Since he can't do a fraction of a painting, he will complete 16 paintings.

If he needs 29 paintings, he will need 29 * 2.6 = 75.4 pints of paint.
