Jesse uses 2.6 pints of paint for each painting.
If he uses 44 pints, he will complete approximately 114.4 paintings.
If he needs to complete 29 paintings, he will need approximately 75.4 pints of paint.
To find the number of pints Jesse uses for each painting, we need to divide the total number of pints (13) by the number of paintings (5).
13 pints / 5 paintings = 2.6 pints per painting
So, Jesse uses 2.6 pints for each painting.
To determine how many paintings he will complete if he uses 44 pints, we divide the total number of pints (44) by the pints per painting (2.6).
44 pints / 2.6 pints per painting = 16.92 paintings
Therefore, he will complete approximately 16.92 paintings.
To calculate the number of pints he will need for 29 paintings, we can use the same formula and substitute the number of paintings.
2.6 pints per painting * 29 paintings = 75.4 pints
Thus, Jesse will need approximately 75.4 pints for 29 paintings.
So, the correct answer is D. Pints = 75.4, Paintings = 29.
