To solve the problem step-by-step, we can find the information we need based on the initial data provided:
-
How many pints does Jesse use for each painting?
- Jesse uses 13 pints of paint for 5 paintings. To find out how many pints he uses for each painting, we divide the total pints by the number of paintings: \[ \text{Pints per painting} = \frac{13 \text{ pints}}{5 \text{ paintings}} = 2.6 \text{ pints per painting} \]
-
How many paintings will he complete if he uses 44 pints?
- Now, to find out how many paintings Jesse can complete with 44 pints, we divide the total pints by the pints per painting: \[ \text{Number of paintings} = \frac{44 \text{ pints}}{2.6 \text{ pints per painting}} \approx 16.92 \text{ paintings} \]
- This means he can complete approximately 16 full paintings before he runs out of paint.
-
How many pints will he need for 29 paintings?
- To find out how many pints are needed for 29 paintings, we multiply the number of paintings by the pints per painting: \[ \text{Total pints needed} = 29 \text{ paintings} \times 2.6 \text{ pints per painting} = 75.4 \text{ pints} \]
Based on the calculations, the correct responses regarding pints and paintings would be:
- For each painting: 2.6 pints
- For 44 pints: 16.92 paintings
- For 29 paintings: 75.4 pints
Therefore, the correct option from your provided choices will be:
