Answer 1

Answer:

6.6 pints of white paint is used to paint the bedroom walls

Step-by-step explanation:

Pints of blue paint used to paint the bedroom walls = 8.8

Ratio of blue paint used = $\frac{1}{4}$

Therefore,

Ratio of white paint used = $1-\frac{1}{4}=\frac{3}{4}$

Pints of white paint used to paint the bedroom walls = $\frac{3}{4}(8.8)=3(2.2)=6.6$

Therefore,

6.6 pints of white paint is used to paint the bedroom walls.
