Answer: 8 pints

Step-by-step explanation: You have to convert all of the fractions into a number that would work with this equation. 2/5 = 4/10 = 8/20.You do the same to the other fraction. 3/10 = 6/20. 8+6 = 14. So far, Matt has used 14 pints of paint. He has 6 pints left but needs to get 14 for the next painting. 14-6 = 8. He will need to get 8 more pints of paint in order to complete his painting.
