Question

each month for 6 months,kelsey completes 5 paintings. How many more paintings does she need to complete before she has completed 38 paintings?

Answer 1

Answer: She needs 8 more paintings to complete in total of 38 paintings.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given:

Number of painting completed in 1 month = 5

Number of months = 6

Total number of paintings that she completes in 6 months = (6 × 5) = 30

Let the number of extra paintings needed be 'x'

According to the question:

$\Rightarrow 30+x=38$

Evaluating the value of 'x', we get:

$\Rightarrow x=38-30=8$

Hence, she needs 8 more paintings to complete in total of 38 paintings.

Answer 2

5 painting every 6 months so 5x6=30
38-30=8
