To find how many pints of paint Jesse uses for each painting, we can divide the total pints by the number of paintings:
-
Pints per painting: \[ \text{Pints per painting} = \frac{\text{Total Pints}}{\text{Total Paintings}} = \frac{13 , \text{pints}}{5 , \text{paintings}} = 2.6 , \text{pints per painting} \]
-
Paintings with 44 pints: To find out how many paintings Jesse can complete with 44 pints, we divide the total pints by the pints per painting: \[ \text{Number of paintings} = \frac{\text{Total Pints}}{\text{Pints per painting}} = \frac{44 , \text{pints}}{2.6 , \text{pints per painting}} \approx 16.92 , \text{paintings} \] (since he can't complete a fraction of a painting, we take 16 full paintings).
-
Pints needed for 29 paintings: To calculate how many pints are needed for 29 paintings: \[ \text{Pints needed} = \text{Pints per painting} \times \text{Number of paintings} = 2.6 , \text{pints per painting} \times 29 , \text{paintings} = 75.4 , \text{pints} \]
Given these calculations, the correct responses would be:
- Pints per painting: 2.6
- Paintings with 44 pints: 16.92
- Pints needed for 29 paintings: 75.4
The correct matching choice from your options would be:
Pints Paintings 13 5 2.6 1 44 16.92 75.4 29
