Solving the Question

We're given:

• 9 ounces of white chocolate sold
• 
  `9(9)/(10)` times as much milk chocolate as white chocolate sold

If the shop sold "
`9(9)/(10)` times as much milk chocolate as white chocolate", we must multiply
`9(9)/(10)` by the amount of white chocolate sold to find the amount of milk chocolate sold.

Multiply
`9(9)/(10)` by 9 ounces:

`9(9)/(10)*9`

Convert the fraction into an improper fraction:

`=(99)/(10)*9`

Multiply:

`=(891)/(10)`

Answer

The shop sold
`(891)/(10)` ounces of milk chocolate.
