Given:
Sharon uses 6.3 pints of blue paint and white paint to paint her bedroom walls.
[tex]\dfrac{4}{5}th[/tex] of this amount is blue paint and the rest is white paint.
To find:
The pints of white paint did she use to paint her bedroom walls.
Solution:
We have,
Total paint used = 6.3 pints
Blue paint = [tex]\dfrac{4}{5}th[/tex] of total paint used
= [tex]\dfrac{4}{5}\times 6.3[/tex]
= [tex]5.04[/tex]
White paint = Total paint used - Blue paint
= [tex]6.3-5.04[/tex]
= [tex]1.26[/tex]
Therefore, Sharon uses 1.26 pints of white paint to paint her bedroom walls.
