each month for 6 months,kelsey completes 5 paintings. How many more paintings does she need to complete before she has completed 38 paintings?
Answer: She needs 8 more paintings to complete in total of 38 paintings.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given:
Number of painting completed in 1 month = 5
Number of months = 6
Total number of paintings that she completes in 6 months = (6 × 5) = 30
Let the number of extra paintings needed be 'x'
According to the question:
\(\Rightarrow 30+x=38\)
Evaluating the value of 'x', we get:
\(\Rightarrow x=38-30=8\)
Hence, she needs 8 more paintings to complete in total of 38 paintings.
