To solve the questions step-by-step, let's calculate how many pints of paint Jesse uses for each painting and how many paintings he can complete with a set amount of paint.
-
How many pints does Jesse use for each painting?
- \( \text{Pints per painting} = \frac{13 \text{ pints}}{5 \text{ paintings}} = 2.6 \text{ pints/painting} \)
-
How many paintings will he complete if he uses 44 pints?
- \( \text{Number of paintings} = \frac{44 \text{ pints}}{2.6 \text{ pints/painting}} = 16.92 \text{ paintings} \)
- Since he cannot complete a fraction of a painting, he can complete 16 paintings.
-
How many pints will he need for 29 paintings?
- \( \text{Total pints needed} = 29 \text{ paintings} \times 2.6 \text{ pints/painting} = 75.4 \text{ pints} \)
Now, let's match these calculations with the given responses.
- For pints needed per painting: 2.6 (correct)
- For paintings completed with 44 pints: 16.92 (correct)
- For pints needed for 29 paintings: 75.4 (correct)
Based on the above calculations, the correct response should be: Pints Paintings 13 5 2.6 1 44 16.92 75.4 29
