Question

Andrea uses 9.8 pints of white paint and blue paint to paint her bedroom walls. 1 4 of this amount is white paint, and the rest is blue paint. How many pints of blue paint did she use to paint her bedroom walls?

Answer 1

7.35

Explanation:

Andrea uses 9.8 pints of white and blue paints to paint her bedroom walls

1/4 of this amount is white paint

= 1/4 × 9.8

= 0.25×9.8

= 2.45

Therefore the amount of blue paint can be calculated as follows

9.8-2.45

= 7.35

Hence 7.35 are blue paint
