Question

Joy uses 9.5 pints of blue paint and white paint to paint her bedroom walls. 3 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?

Answer 1

Answer:

6 pints of white paint she used to paint her bedroom walls.

Step-by-step explanation:

Joy uses 9.5 pints of blue paint + white paint.

Joy used 3.5 pints of blue paint.

So, white paint used = total paint - blue paint used

Plug in the known values into the equation.

White paint used = 9.5-3.5 =6 pints
