A unit fraction is a fraction whose numerator is 1.
<h3>Trina uses 3.44 or 
pints of white paint</h3>
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given that,
Trina uses 8.6 pints of blue paint and white paint to paint her bedroom walls
3/5 of the amount is blue paint, and the rest is white paint
From given,
3/5 of 8.6 pints is blue paint
Thus, 2/5 of 8.6 pints is white paint
<em><u>How many pints of white paint did she use to paint her bedroom walls? </u></em>
Thus she uses 3.44 or 17.2/5 pints of white paint
First of all, we have to observe this triangles separated by the height. These small and big triangles are similar according to the Angle-Angle-Angle principle.
a. We can find all of these length using the cosine of the angle, Pythagoras theorem and the principle of the similarity of triangles.
b. According to the cosine of the angle we can write that, cosθ = 12/a = 5/13 and from here a = 31.2. After finding that using Pythagoras theorem, we can write that . According to the similarity of the triangles, we can write that 31.2/d = 28.8/12 and d = 13. Applying Pythagoras theorem we find that c = 5.
c. We already gave the answer for this question in part b
