1
4
of this amount is white paint, and the rest is blue paint. How many pints of blue paint did she use to paint her bedroom walls
If 1/4 of the total paint used is white, then 3/4 of the total paint used is blue.
Let B be the amount of blue paint used in pints. Then we have:
B = 3/4 * (6.3)
Simplifying the right side:
B = 4.725
Therefore, Sue used 4.725 pints of blue paint to paint her bedroom walls.
