Question

each month for 6 months,kelsey completes 5 paintings. How many more paintings does she need to complete before she has completed 38 paintings?

Answer 1

5 painting every 6 months so 5x6=30
38-30=8

Answer 2

Answer: She needs 8 more paintings to complete in total of 38 paintings.

Explanation:

We are given:

Number of painting completed in 1 month = 5

Number of months = 6

Total number of paintings that she completes in 6 months = (6 × 5) = 30

Let the number of extra paintings needed be 'x'

According to the question:

`\Rightarrow 30+x=38`

Evaluating the value of 'x', we get:

`\Rightarrow x=38-30=8`

Hence, she needs 8 more paintings to complete in total of 38 paintings.
