Answer 1

Answer:

2.4 pints

Step-by-step explanation:

Araceli uses 9.6 pints of blue paint and white paints, that means the total volume of paint is 9.6 pints

If Three fourths of this amount is blue paint ,

Then  $\frac{3}{4} X 9.6=7.2 pints$

7.2 pints of blue paint was used.

We want to find out how much white paint was used by Araceli

Volume of Blue Paint+Volume of White Paint=Total Volume of Paint

7.2+Volume of White Paint=9.6

Volume of White Paint=9.6-7.2=2.4 pints
