of this amount is white paint, and the rest is blue paint. How many pints of blue paint did she use to paint her bedroom walls?
2/5 is white? If so, then 3/5 * 9.4 = blue
idk
To find the amount of blue paint Julia used, we need to subtract the amount of white paint from the total amount of paint used.
Total amount of paint used = 9.4 pints
Amount of white paint used = 2/5 * 9.4 pints
To find the amount of blue paint used, we subtract the amount of white paint from the total amount of paint used:
Amount of blue paint used = Total amount of paint used - Amount of white paint used
Amount of blue paint used = 9.4 pints - 2/5 * 9.4 pints
To simplify the expression, we can first find the value of 2/5 * 9.4:
2/5 * 9.4 = (2/5) * (47/5) = 94/5 = 18.8 pints
Now we can substitute this value back into the equation:
Amount of blue paint used = 9.4 pints - 18.8 pints
Next, we subtract:
Amount of blue paint used = -9.4 pints
Since we can't have a negative amount of paint, it seems like there may be an error in the provided information. Please double-check the values and try the question again.
To find out how many pints of blue paint Julia used, we need to subtract the amount of white paint from the total amount used.
We are given that Julia used a total of 9.4 pints of paint. Out of this, 2/5 of the paint is white.
To find the amount of white paint, we can multiply the total paint used by the fraction representing the white paint: (2/5) * 9.4 = 3.76 pints.
Now, to find the amount of blue paint, we need to subtract the amount of white paint from the total paint used: 9.4 - 3.76 = 5.64 pints.
Therefore, Julia used 5.64 pints of blue paint to paint her bedroom walls.
