To solve the problems based on the information given:

  1. 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:

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

  2. 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:

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

  3. 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.
