Answer:

1.65 pints

Explanation:

If Tara used 6.6 pints of white and blue paint combined, and 3/4 of that amount is white paint, then we can find the amount of white paint she used by multiplying 6.6 by 3/4:

6.6 x 3/4 = 4.95

So Tara used 4.95 pints of white paint to paint her bedroom walls.

To find out how much blue paint she used, we can subtract the amount of white paint from the total amount of paint:

6.6 - 4.95 = 1.65

Therefore, Tara used 1.65 pints of blue paint to paint her bedroom walls.
