Answer: There are 3 jars he can paint.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of pint of red paint Ming needs for an art project =
(1)/(2)

Number of jars that have the following amount of red paint in them = 6

According to question, he wants to use only one jar of paint mark off all of the jars of paint that men can use.

So, Number of jars he marked is given by


(1)/(2)* 6\\\\=3\ jars

Hence, there are 3 jars he can paint .
