it equals 1 and 2 over 63

Answer 2

Given the statement: At the malt shop a large chocolate shake takes 8/9 of a pint of milk

⇒ Amount of large chocolate shake=
`(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} = (1)/(7) * {\text{Amount of large chocolate shake}`

Substitute the given values we have;

`\text{Amount of medium chocolate shake} = (1)/(7) *(8)/(9)`

Simplify:

`\text{Amount of medium chocolate shake} = (8)/(63)` pint of a milk

Therefore, the medium shake take
`(8)/(63)` pint of a milk.
