Complete question :
Mathilde has 20 pints of green paint. She uses 2/5 of it to paint a landscape and 3\10 of it while painting a clover. She decides that for her next painting she will need 14 pints of green paint. How much more paint will she need to buy
Answer:
8 pints
Explanation:
Initial Pints of green paint = 20
For landscape use:
2/5 * 20 = 40/5 = 8 pints
Painting clover :
3/10 * 20 = 60/10 = 6 pints
Quantity left :
Initial amount - total used
20 - (8 + 6)
20 - 14 = 6 pints
Quantity needed for next painting = 14 pints
Quantity more required :
14 pints - 6 pints =. 8 pints
