1 answer

To find out how many pints Jesse uses for each painting, you have to divide the total number of pints by the number of paintings.

13 pints ÷ 5 paintings = <<13/5=2.6>>2.6 pints/painting

To know how many paintings Jesse will complete if he uses 44 pints, you have to divide the total number of pints by the pints he uses for each painting.

44 pints ÷ 2.6 pints/painting = <<44/2.6=16.923076923076923>>16.92 paintings (rounded to the nearest hundredth)

To calculate how many pints Jesse will need for 29 paintings, you have to multiply the pints he uses for each painting by the number of paintings.

2.6 pints/painting × 29 paintings = 75.4 pints
