Answer 2

Blues Paints = 2.45 pints

Explanation:

Let's generate an expression that would relate all the variables given:

Total pints of paints used:

9.8 = white + blue

Pints of white paint used:

= 3/4 of 9.8

=0.75 * 9.8

=7.35

Number of pint of BLUE PAINTS used:

9.8 = White Paints + Blue Paints

9.8 = 7.35 + Blue Paints

Blue Paints = 9.8 - 7.35

Blues Paints = 2.45

Kate used 2.45 pints Blues Paints for her bedroom
