Answer 1

The correct answer is:
Jesse uses 13 pints of paint for 5 paintings, so he uses 13/5 = 2.6 pints of paint for each painting.
To find out how many paintings he will complete if he uses 44 pints, we divide 44 by 2.6 to get 16.92. Since he can't complete a fraction of a painting, he will complete 16 paintings.
To find out how many pints he will need for 29 paintings, we multiply 29 by 2.6 to get 75.4 pints.
