Melanie uses 7.6 pints of blue paint and white paint to paint her bedroom walls.
3
4
of this amount is blue paint, and the rest is white paint. How many pints of white paint did she use to paint her bedroom walls?
0.2916
Actually, that's not correct. We need to find 1/4 of 7.6 by dividing 7.6 by 4.
7.6 ÷ 4 = 1.9
So, 1/4 of 7.6 is 1.9. This means that Melanie used 1.9 pints of white paint to paint her bedroom walls.
To find out how many pints of white paint Melanie used to paint her bedroom walls, we need to subtract the amount of blue paint from the total amount of paint.
First, let's find the total amount of paint by adding the amount of blue paint and white paint:
Total paint = 7.6 pints
Next, we can calculate the amount of white paint by subtracting the amount of blue paint from the total amount of paint:
White paint = Total paint - Blue paint
= 7.6 pints - 3 pints
= 4.6 pints
Therefore, Melanie used 4.6 pints of white paint to paint her bedroom walls.
Didn't we just do one like this? I can tell because the wording is exactly the same, as well as your lame-o and still uncorrected way of writing fractions.
3/4 blue, so 1/4 is white
1/4 * 7.6 = ____
