To solve the problem, we need to break it down into three parts based on Jesse's paint usage.
-
How many pints does he use for each painting? To find the pints per painting, we divide the total pints used 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? To determine how many paintings he can complete with 44 pints, we divide the total pints by the pints per painting:
\[ \text{Number of paintings} = \frac{44 \text{ pints}}{2.6 \text{ pints per painting}} \approx 16.92 \text{ paintings} \]
Since he can't complete a fraction of a painting, he can complete 16 paintings.
-
How many pints will he need for 29 paintings? To calculate the total pints needed for 29 paintings, we multiply the number of paintings by the pints per painting:
\[ \text{Total pints needed} = 29 \text{ paintings} \times 2.6 \text{ pints per painting} = 75.4 \text{ pints} \]
So, summarizing the answers:
- Pints used for each painting: 2.6
- Number of paintings from 44 pints: 16.92 (which rounds to 16 full paintings)
- Pints needed for 29 paintings: 75.4
The correct option based on the calculations is:
Pints Paintings
13 5
2.6 1
44 16.92
75.4 29
