Question

Clarissa uses 8.6 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:

3.44 pints of white paint

Step-by-step explanation:

3/5 x 8.6 = 5.16 pints

Clarissa uses 5.16 pints of blue paints

Subtract 5.16 from 8.6 to find out how many pints of white paint did Clarissa use.

8.6 - 5.16 = 3.44 pints of white paint
