Question

Sadie uses 9.8 pints of blue paint and white paint to paint her bedroom walls. 1 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?

Answer 1

Answer:

7.35 pints

Step-by-step explanation:

If we use 1/4 of the 9.8 pints for blue, then the remaining white paint takes up 3/4 of the 9.8 pints of paint. To find how many pints of paint is equal to 3/4 of it, you must multiply that fraction by the amount (9.8).

$\frac{3}{4}$ * 9.8 (or 0.75 * 9.8) = 7.35

Therefore, 7.35 pints of the total paint used is white.
