Further explanation</h3>
<u>Given:</u>
Mathilde has 20 pints of green paint.
She uses:
- ²/₅ of it to paint a landscape, and
- ³/₁₀ of it while painting a clover.
She decides that for her next painting she will need 14 pints of green paint.
<u>Question:</u>
How much more paint will she need to buy?
<u>The Process:</u>
Prepare ²/₅ to be ⁴/₁₀. The numerator and denominator are multiplied by two.
From the fractions ⁴/₁₀ and ⁵/₁₀ with the denominators of 10, we divided 20 pints into 10 parts for 2 units each.
The initial condition:
²/₅ (or ⁴/₁₀) of it to paint a landscape: which is four out of ten parts or
³/₁₀ of it while painting a clover: which is three out of ten parts or
From the scheme above, it appears that Mathilde has 6 pints remaining, i.e.,
She decides that for her next painting she will need 14 pints of green paint.
Thus, the amount of paint that she will need to buy is . She needs 8 more pints of paint to buy.
