Esther uses 6.6 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?
Turn the 6.6 into a fraction for calculation purposes. you get 33/5. since 3/5 is blue paint and the question wants white paint, calculate 33/5 × 2/5. You should get 66/25 as the answer.
