Answer: 4

If you would like to know how many gallons of paint did Beth use, you can calculate this using the following steps:

1 jar ... 1 pint of paint

32 jars ... x pints of paint = ?

1 * x = 1 * 32

x = 32 pints of paint

1 gallon ... 8 pints

y gallons = ? ... 32 pints of paint

1 * 32 = 8 * y

32 = 8 * y /8

y = 32 / 8 = 4 gallons of paint

Result: Beth used 4 gallons of paint.
