To find the answers to the questions based on the information provided, we can perform the following calculations:
-
Pints of paint used for each painting: \[ \text{Pints per painting} = \frac{\text{Total pints}}{\text{Number of paintings}} = \frac{13 \text{ pints}}{5 \text{ paintings}} = 2.6 \text{ pints per painting} \]
-
How many paintings can he complete with 44 pints? \[ \text{Number of paintings} = \frac{44 \text{ pints}}{\text{Pints per painting}} = \frac{44}{2.6} \approx 16.92 \text{ paintings} \]
-
How many pints will he need for 29 paintings? \[ \text{Pints needed} = 29 \text{ paintings} \times \text{Pints per painting} = 29 \times 2.6 = 75.4 \text{ pints} \]
Now let’s summarize these results:
- Pints used for each painting: 2.6
- Number of paintings completed with 44 pints: 16.92
- Pints needed for 29 paintings: 75.4
Looking at the options, we find that the correct calculations match with Option D:
A. Pints Paintings
13 5
0.38 1
44 115.7
11.02 29
B. Pints Paintings
13 5
