Question

Maisha is using special paint for her artwork. The art work supply store charges $1.50 per cupof paint. Maisha needs 2 pints of blue paint, 3 cups of green paint, 1 and 1/2 quarts of orange paint and 1/2 of yellow paint. How much will she pay? How am i supposed to do this

Answer 1

$20.25 Dollars

Explanation:

keep in mind:

1 pint = 2cups

1 quart = 4cups

according to the story, she buys 2 pints of blue(4 cups), 3 cups of green(3cups),

1 1/2 quarts (6cups), and 1/2 cups(I am assuming cups because it wasn't stated)

so now we just add up all the cups using the measurements I stated at the beginning.

13.5 cups is the amount she is buying, but we need to know the price, so we simply add $1.50 for every cup she bought!

1.50 x 13.5 = 20.25

So the answer is $20.25 Dollars
