To find out how many pints Jesse uses for each painting, we can divide the total pints of paint by the number of paintings:

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

  2. How many paintings can he complete 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 does he need for 29 paintings: \[ \text{Pints needed} = 29 \text{ paintings} \times 2.6 \text{ pints/painting} = 75.4 \text{ pints} \]

Based on this:

  • For each painting, Jesse uses 2.6 pints.
  • He can complete 16.92 paintings with 44 pints.
  • He will need 75.4 pints for 29 paintings.

The correct response is:

13 5
2.6 1
44 16.92
75.4 29
