Henri and Talia are mixing paint for an art project. They mixed p liters of red paint, 0.6 liters of blue paint, and p – 0.4 liters of white paint. They then divided the mixture evenly into 2 jars. If each jar contains 2.4 liters of paint, how much red paint did they use? Use numbers to fill in the blank.

I think the answer is 3.8.

Step-by-step explanation:

Because there is 0.6 for the blue paint and 0.4 for the white paint, and p=red paint. If you divide all 3 of them equally into 2 jars, you have add 0.4 and 0.6 together and then divide by 2, then substract it from 2.4. You will get 1.9, then multiply 1.9 by 2, that is how much Henri and Talia used for the red paint, which is 3.8 liters.
