Answer 1

To solve the problems step by step:

1. Pints of paint used per painting:

   • Jesse uses 13 pints for 5 paintings.
   • To find the pints used for each painting, we 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. Number of paintings completed with 44 pints:

   • If Jesse has 44 pints and uses 2.6 pints per painting, we divide the total pints by the pints per painting: \[ \text{Number of paintings} = \frac{44 \text{ pints}}{2.6 \text{ pints/painting}} \approx 16.92 \text{ paintings} \]

3. Pints needed for 29 paintings:

   • If he wants to paint 29 paintings, we multiply the number of paintings by the pints per painting: \[ \text{Pints needed} = 29 \text{ paintings} \times 2.6 \text{ pints/painting} = 75.4 \text{ pints} \]

Based on these calculations, the correct summary would be:

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

From the provided options, option 4 matches the calculations:

• Pints Paintings
  • 13 5
  • 2.6 1
  • 44 16.92
  • 75.4 29

Thus, the answer is 4.
