Esther uses 9.4 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:

3.76

Step-by-step explanation:

Esther uses 9.4 pints of blur paint and white pant for her bedroom

3/5 of this amount is blue paint while the rest is white paint

3/5

= 0.6×100

= 60

Therefore the amount of white paint can be calculated as follows

40/100 × 9.4

= 0.4×9.4

= 3.76
