Jesse uses 13 pints of paint for 5 paintings. How many pints does he use for each painting? How many paintings will he complete if he uses 44 pints? How many pints will he need for 29 paintings?
To find out how many pints of paint Jesse uses for each painting, we divide the total pints by the number of paintings:
13 pints / 5 paintings = 2.6 pints per painting
If he uses 44 pints, we divide the total pints by the pints per painting:
44 pints / 2.6 pints per painting ≈ 16.92 paintings
Since he can't complete a fraction of a painting, he will complete 16 paintings if he uses 44 pints.
For 29 paintings, we multiply the number of paintings by the pints per painting:
29 paintings * 2.6 pints per painting = 75.4 pints
Again, since he can't use a fraction of a pint, he will need 75 pints for 29 paintings.
13 pints / 5 paintings = 2.6 pints per painting
If he uses 44 pints, we divide the total pints by the pints per painting:
44 pints / 2.6 pints per painting ≈ 16.92 paintings
Since he can't complete a fraction of a painting, he will complete 16 paintings if he uses 44 pints.
For 29 paintings, we multiply the number of paintings by the pints per painting:
29 paintings * 2.6 pints per painting = 75.4 pints
Again, since he can't use a fraction of a pint, he will need 75 pints for 29 paintings.
