Step-by-step explanation:

You need to find how many cups of paint patrick will have left. First, find how many cups he buys.

There are 4 cups in a quart, so multiply 2 quarts by 4.

2×4=8

p buys 8 cups of paint. He will use 5 cups. Subtract to find how many he will have left.

8–5=3

p will have 3 cups of blue paint left.
