at the malt shop a large chocolate shake takes 8/9 of pint milk.if the medium shake takes 1/7 the amount of large how much does the medium shake take?
To find out how much milk the medium shake takes, we can calculate it using the information given.
First, we need to determine the amount of milk that the medium shake takes relative to the large shake. We know that the medium shake takes 1/7 the amount of a large shake.
Now, since we know that the large shake takes 8/9 of a pint of milk, we can find the amount of milk the medium shake takes by multiplying the amount taken by the large shake by the fraction representing 1/7.
Let me do the calculations:
Amount of milk taken by the medium shake = (1/7) * (8/9)
= (1 * 8) / (7 * 9)
= 8/63
So, the medium shake takes 8/63 of a pint of milk.
Therefore, the medium shake takes 8/63 of a pint of milk.
