Answer:
2.35 pints of blue paint.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Cathy uses 9.4 pints of white paint and blue paint to paint her bedroom walls.
3/4 of this amount is white paint, and the rest is blue paint and the rest is blue paint.
Question asked:
How many pints of blue paint did she use to paint her bedroom walls?
Solution:
Total quantity of paint to paint her bedrooms = 9.4 pints
Amount of white paint = [tex]\frac{3}{4} \ of\ 9.4[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{3}{4} \times9.4=7.05\ pints[/tex]
Amount of blue paint = Total quantity of paint - Amount of white paint
= 9.4 - 7.05
= 2.35 pints
Therefore, 2.35 pints of blue paint did she use to paint her bedroom walls.
