1/9 pints of milk can be added by a customer

Explanation:

We have to subtract simple fractions to find the amount of milk that can be added to a cup of coffee

Given

Total Capacity of a cup = 7/9 pints

Coffee to be added in a cup = 2/3 pints

So in order to find the amount of milk that can be added we have to subtract the amount of coffee from the total capacity of cup.

So,

Hence,

1/9 pints of milk can be added by a customer
