A-Plus Auto Body need to buy 4.35 pints or 5 pints if they can buy whole ones.
<h2>Further Explanation</h2>
Total given pints = 18
Pints of blue paint used for flames = 1/2 x 18 = 18/2 = 9
Pints of blue paint used for sparks = 1/3 x 18 = 18/3 = 6
Total used pints of blue paint = Pints of blue paint used for flames + Pints of blue paint used for sparks = 9 + 6 = 15
Total used pints = 15
Remainder of blue paint = Total given pints – Total used pints = 18 – 15 = 3
Remainder = 3
Deriving the total pint they need to buy to paint the next design:
Recall, they need 7 3/4 or 7.35
Recall, Remainder = 3
Subtract 7.35 – 3
7.35 – 3 =
4.35
Therefore, A-Plus Auto Body need to buy 4.35 (or 5) pints of blue paint
