Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Hana has some blue paint. She wants to lighten the shade, so she mixes in 1  cup of white paint. The color is still too dark, so Hana keeps mixing in 1 cup of  white paint at a time. After adding 4 cups, she decides the color is too light.

How would she express the amount of paint to add to be between too dark and too light.

Solution:

After adding a cup of white paint, the color is still dark, she adds the second cup of paint and the color is still dark. She adds the third cup of paint and the color is still dark but when she adds the fourth cup of white paint, the color became too light.

This means that the amount of paint to add to be between too dark and too light is between the third and fourth cup.

Let w represent the amount of paint to add to be between too dark and too light. Hence:

3 < w < 4
