At the malt shop a large chocolate shake takes 8/9 of a pint of milk. if the medium shake takes 1/7 the amount of a large ,how much does the medium shake take?
8/9 + 1/7= 56/63 + 9/63= 56+9= 65/63 = 1 2/63
it equals 1 and 2 over 63
Answer:
Given the statement: At the malt shop a large chocolate shake takes 8/9 of a pint of milk
⇒ Amount of large chocolate shake= \(\frac{8}{9}\) pint of milk.
It is also given that: if the medium shake takes 1/7 the amount of a large.
⇒\(\text{Amount of small chocolate shake} = \frac{1}{7} \times {\text{Amount of large chocolate shake}\)
Substitute the given values we have;
\(\text{Amount of medium chocolate shake} = \frac{1}{7} \times\frac{8}{9}\)
Simplify:
\(\text{Amount of medium chocolate shake} = \frac{8}{63}\) pint of a milk
Therefore, the medium shake take \(\frac{8}{63}\) pint of a milk.
