Answer:

The number of pints that are required to clean the overall boat is 1 and 1 ÷ 8 pints

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the number of pints that are required to clean the overall boat is as follows;

3 ÷ 4 pints of cleaner = 2 ÷ 3 boat

3 ÷ 4 c = 2 ÷ 3 b

Now solve for b i.e. boat

9 ÷ 4 c = 2 b

9 ÷ 8 c = b

1 1 ÷ 8 c = b

Hence, the number of pints that are required to clean the overall boat is 1 and 1 ÷ 8 pints
