Let's break down the questions step by step.
-
How many pints does Jesse use for each painting? Jesse uses 13 pints of paint for 5 paintings. To find out how many pints he uses for each painting:
\[ \text{Pints per painting} = \frac{\text{Total pints}}{\text{Total paintings}} = \frac{13}{5} = 2.6 \text{ pints per painting} \]
-
How many paintings will he complete if he uses 44 pints? Now, if Jesse has 44 pints and each painting requires 2.6 pints:
\[ \text{Number of paintings} = \frac{\text{Total pints}}{\text{Pints per painting}} = \frac{44}{2.6} \approx 16.92 \] Since he cannot complete a fraction of a painting, he can complete 16 full paintings.
-
How many pints will he need for 29 paintings? To find out how many pints are needed for 29 paintings:
\[ \text{Total pints needed} = \text{Pints per painting} \times \text{Number of paintings} = 2.6 \times 29 = 75.4 \text{ pints} \]
Summary of Answers
- Pints per painting: 2.6
- Paintings he can complete with 44 pints: 16
- Pints needed for 29 paintings: 75.4
The provided responses of:
- 2.6 pints per painting
- 16.92 paintings (which should be rounded down to 16)
- 75.4 pints for 29 paintings
are correct, except for the paintings which should be noted as a whole number.
