Question

Audrina uses 9.7 pints of blue paint and white paint to paint her bedroom walls. 3 5 of this amount is blue paint, and the rest is white paint. How many pints of white paint did she use to paint her bedroom walls?

Answer 1

6.2 pints of white paint.

Explanation:

9.7 is the sum of both paints used to pain her bedroom walls. If we know that 3.5 of the 9.7 was blue, we can safely assume that the remainder of the paint was white, thus 9.7 - 3.5 = 6.2
