Respuesta :

Answer:

She use 5.88 pints of white paint.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Pearl uses 9.8 pints of blue paint and white paint to paint her bedroom walls. [tex]\frac{2}{5}[/tex] of this amount is blue paint, and the rest is white paint.

Now, to find the pints of white paint she use.

Pearl uses total pint of paint = 9.8 pints.

The amount of blue paint

= [tex]\frac{2}{5}\ of\ 9.8\ pints.[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{2}{5} \times 9.8[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{19.6}{5}[/tex]

= [tex]3.92\ pints.[/tex]

Thus, the amount of blue paint = 3.92 pints.

Now, to get the white paint we subtract the amount of blue paint from  the total pint of paint:

[tex]9.8-3.92\\\\=5.88\ pints.[/tex]

Therefore, she use 5.88 pints of white paint.
