Jesse uses 2.6 pints of paint for each painting. He will complete 114.4 paintings if he uses 44 pints. He will need 75.4 pints to complete 29 paintings.
The correct step-by-step answers are:
To find out how many pints Jesse uses for each painting, divide the total number of pints (13) by the number of paintings (5):
13 pints ÷ 5 paintings = 2.6 pints per painting
To calculate how many paintings Jesse will complete if he uses 44 pints, divide the total number of pints (44) by the average number of pints per painting (2.6):
44 pints ÷ 2.6 pints per painting = 16.92 paintings
To determine how many pints Jesse will need for 29 paintings, multiply the average number of pints per painting (2.6) by the number of paintings (29):
2.6 pints per painting × 29 paintings = 75.4 pints.
To calculate how many pints Jesse uses for each painting, divide the total number of pints (13) by the number of paintings (5). So, each painting requires 2.6 pints of paint.
To determine how many paintings Jesse will complete if he uses 44 pints of paint, divide the total number of pints (44) by the amount needed for each painting (2.6). The answer is approximately 16.92. However, since we cannot have a fraction of a painting, Jesse will complete either 16 or 17 paintings.
To find out how many pints Jesse will need for 29 paintings, multiply the number of paintings (29) by the amount needed for each painting (2.6). The answer is approximately 75.4 pints. Again, we cannot have a fraction of a pint, so Jesse will likely need 75 or 76 pints of paint for 29 paintings.
