To solve the problems based on the information given:
-
How many pints does he use for each painting? Jesse uses 13 pints of paint for 5 paintings. To find the pints of paint per painting, divide the total pints by the number of paintings:
\[ \text{Pints per painting} = \frac{13 \text{ pints}}{5 \text{ paintings}} = 2.6 \text{ pints/painting} \]
-
How many paintings will he complete if he uses 44 pints? Using the pints per painting calculated earlier, we find how many paintings can be done with 44 pints:
\[ \text{Number of paintings} = \frac{44 \text{ pints}}{2.6 \text{ pints/painting}} \approx 16.92 \text{ paintings} \]
-
How many pints will he need for 29 paintings? To find out how many pints are needed for 29 paintings, multiply the number of paintings by the pints per painting:
\[ \text{Total pints needed} = 29 \text{ paintings} \times 2.6 \text{ pints/painting} = 75.4 \text{ pints} \]
Putting all this information together, the correct responses are:
- Pints per painting: 2.6
- Paintings from 44 pints: 16.92 (rounded down would be 16 complete paintings if only whole paintings are considered)
- Pints needed for 29 paintings: 75.4
Based on the original responses provided:
Correct Option:
- Pints Paintings:
- 13 5
- 2.6 1
- 44 16.92
- 75.4 29
So the correct answer is: Pints Paintings 13 5 2.6 1 44 16.92 75.4 29.
