It takes 8, 30 minutes to make 4 hours, so you would divide the amount of paint Jenny use in 4 hours by 8. 2 divides by 8 is 0.25. Jenny uses 0.25 (also equivalent to 1/4 or a quarter) in 30 minutes

Answer: 0.25 Cups. Step-by-step explanation: First divide. 4/4 and 2/4. So now you have that she used 0.5 cups in an hour. Now divide it in half. 0.5/2 which is 0.25.

Hope this helped. If you need anymore help send me a friend request and I will find you.
