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?

Sagot :

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= [tex]\frac{8}{9}[/tex] pint of milk.

It is also given that:  if the medium shake takes 1/7 the amount of a large.

⇒[tex]\text{Amount of small chocolate shake} = \frac{1}{7} \times {\text{Amount of large chocolate shake}[/tex]

Substitute the given values we have;

[tex]\text{Amount of medium chocolate shake} = \frac{1}{7} \times\frac{8}{9} [/tex]

Simplify:

[tex]\text{Amount of medium chocolate shake} = \frac{8}{63}[/tex] pint of a milk

Therefore, the medium shake take  [tex]\frac{8}{63}[/tex] pint of a milk.
