Express your answer in fraction and decimal form.
To find out how many pints of blue paint Genevieve used to paint her bedroom walls, we need to subtract the amount of white paint she used from the total amount of paint used.
From the given information, we know that Genevieve used a total of 6.3 pints of white paint and blue paint combined. We also know that 3/4 of this total amount is white paint.
To find the amount of white paint used, we can calculate:
3/4 * 6.3 = 4.725 pints
Now, we can calculate the amount of blue paint used by subtracting the amount of white paint from the total amount of paint:
Total paint - White paint = Blue paint
6.3 - 4.725 = 1.575 pints
Therefore, Genevieve used 1.575 pints of blue paint to paint her bedroom walls.
