Answer 1

To solve the problem, let's break it down step by step.

1. How many pints does Jesse use for each painting?

   Jesse uses 13 pints of paint for 5 paintings. To find the amount of paint used per painting, we divide the total pints by the number of paintings:

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

2. How many paintings will he complete if he uses 44 pints?

   If he uses 2.6 pints for each painting, the number of paintings he can complete with 44 pints is calculated by dividing 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. How many pints will he need for 29 paintings?

   To determine how many pints are needed for 29 paintings, we multiply the number of paintings by the pints per painting:

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

Now we can summarize the findings:

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

The correct response is:

Pints Paintings 13 5 2.6 1 44 16.92 75.4 29
