Question

Sean uses 7.8 pints of blue paint and white paint to paint his bedroom walls. 4 5 of this amount is blue paint, and the rest is white paint. how many pints of white paint did she use to paint his bedroom walls?

Answer 1

Subtract Sean's blue paint (4.5) from the total (7.8). He used 3.3 pints of white. ️

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

Total paint used: 7.8 pints

Blue paint used: 4.5 pints

Therefore, the amount of white paint used is:

White paint used = Total paint used - Blue paint used

White paint used = 7.8 pints - 4.5 pints

White paint used = 3.3 pints

So, Sean used 3.3 pints of white paint to paint his bedroom walls.
