To solve the problem, let's break it down step by step.
-
Finding pints per painting: Jesse uses \(13\) pints of paint for \(5\) paintings. \[ \text{Pints per painting} = \frac{13 \text{ pints}}{5 \text{ paintings}} = 2.6 \text{ pints per painting} \]
-
How many paintings can he complete with 44 pints?: If each painting requires \(2.6\) pints, the number of paintings he can complete with \(44\) pints is given by: \[ \text{Number of paintings} = \frac{44 \text{ pints}}{2.6 \text{ pints per painting}} \approx 16.92 \text{ paintings} \]
-
How many pints will he need for 29 paintings?: To find out how many pints he needs for \(29\) paintings, multiply the number of paintings by the pints per painting: \[ \text{Total pints} = 29 \text{ paintings} \times 2.6 \text{ pints per painting} = 75.4 \text{ pints} \]
Now, summarizing the results:
- Jesse uses \(2.6\) pints for each painting.
- He can complete approximately \(16.92\) paintings with \(44\) pints.
- He will need \(75.4\) pints for \(29\) paintings.
From the responses given, the correct one is: Pints Paintings 13 5 2.6 1 44 16.92 75.4 29
