first, type fraction without the line feed: as in 2/5
2/5 is blue, so 3/5 is white
3/5 * 19/2 = ____
To find how many pints of white paint Kylie used to paint her bedroom walls, we need to subtract the amount of blue paint from the total amount of paint used.
Given that 2/5 of the total amount is blue paint, we can calculate the amount of blue paint used by multiplying 2/5 by the total amount of paint.
Total amount of paint = 9.5 pints
Blue paint = (2/5) * 9.5 = 3.8 pints
To find the amount of white paint used, we subtract the blue paint from the total amount of paint:
White paint = Total amount of paint - Blue paint = 9.5 - 3.8 = 5.7 pints
Therefore, Kylie used 5.7 pints of white paint to paint her bedroom walls.
