Melanie uses 8.1 pints of blue paint and white paint to paint her bedroom walls. 2/5 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?

Respuesta :

Answer:

4.86

Step-by-step explanation:

Melanie uses 8.1 pints of blue paint and white paint for her bedroom

2/5 of this amount is blue paint

Therefore the amount of white paint can be calculated as follows

= 2/5

= 0.4×100

= 40%

60/100 × 8.1

= 0.6 × 8.1

= 4.86

Hence 4.86 pints of white paint will be used to paint the bedroom
