8 more pints to paint 
 Further explanation 
 Given: 
 Mathilde has 20 pints of green paint. 
 She uses: 
 
 ²/₅ of it to paint a landscape, and 
 ³/₁₀ of it while painting a clover.

She decides that for her next painting she will need 14 pints of green paint. 
 Question: 
 How much more paint will she need to buy? 
 The Process: 
 Prepare ²/₅ to be ⁴/₁₀. The numerator and denominator are multiplied by two. 
 From the fractions ⁴/₁₀ and ⁵/₁₀ with the denominators of 10, we divided 20 pints into 10 parts for 2 units each. 
 The initial condition: 2 ​ 2 ​ 2 ​ 2 ​ 2 ​ 2 ​ 2 ​ 2 ​ 2 ​ 2 ​ 
 ²/₅ (or ⁴/₁₀) of it to paint a landscape: 2 ​ 2 ​ 2 ​ 2 ​ which is four out of ten parts or 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 8 p in t s ​ 
 ³/₁₀ of it while painting a clover: 2 ​ 2 ​ 2 ​ which is three out of ten parts or 2 + 2 + 2 = 6 p in t s ​ 
 From the scheme above, it appears that Mathilde has 6 pints remaining, i.e., 20 − 8 − 6 = 6 p in t s ​ 
 She decides that for her next painting she will need 14 pints of green paint. 
 Thus, the amount of paint that she will need to buy is 14 − 6 = 8 ​ ​ . She needs 8 more pints of paint to buy.

BladeRunner212 · Answer

Mathilde has 20 pints of green paint and uses 14 pints in total for two projects, leaving her with 6 pints. She needs 14 pints for her next painting, so she will need to buy 8 more pints. Therefore, Mathilde needs to purchase an additional 8 pints of green paint.
