Answer 1

Answer: 2.1 Pints

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Areli uses 8.4 Pints of blue and White Paint

If the three-fourth is blue paint i.e.

$\Rightarrow 8.4\times \dfrac{3}{4}=6.3\ \text{Pints}$

The remaining one-fourth is White Paint i.e.

$\Rightarrow 8.4\times \dfrac{1}{4}=2.1\ \text{Pints}$
