Sasha uses 6.1 pints of white paint and blue paint to paint her bedroom walls. 2/5 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?

Respuesta :

Answer: 3.66 pints of blue paint.

Step-by-step explanation:

She used 2/5 of the total number of pints to paint white.

That number in pints is:

= 2/5 * 6.1

= 2.44 pints of white

The number of pints used to paint blue is therefore:

= 6.1 - 2.44

= 3.66 pints of blue paint.
