Answer:

2.76 pints

Explanation:

Given that:

Tottal amount of paint used = 6.9 pints

The faction of white paint used = 3/5

Hence, Amount of white Paint used :

3/5 * 6.9 = (3 * 6.9) / 5 = 4.14 pints of white paint.

Pints of blue paints used :

Total pints - pints of white used

6.9 - 4.14 = 2.76 pints of blue paint
