Let's break down the problem step-by-step:

  1. Finding pints per painting: Jesse uses 13 pints of paint for 5 paintings. To find out how many pints he uses for each painting, we can divide the total pints by the number of paintings:

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

  2. How many paintings can he complete with 44 pints? To find out how many paintings Jesse can complete with 44 pints, divide the total pints by the pints used for each painting:

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

  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 used for each painting:

    \[ \text{Total pints} = 29 \text{ paintings} \times 2.6 \text{ pints per painting} = 75.4 \text{ pints} \]

So, the responses are:

  • Pints per painting: 2.6
  • Paintings with 44 pints: 16.92
  • Pints needed for 29 paintings: 75.4

Therefore, the correct options from your responses are:

  • Pints Painting 13 5 2.6 1 44 16.92 75.4 29
