Given the statement: At the malt shop a large chocolate shake takes 8/9 of a pint of milk
⇒ Amount of large chocolate shake= 9 8 ​ 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} = \frac{1}{7} \times {\text{Amount of large chocolate shake}
Substitute the given values we have;
Amount of medium chocolate shake = 7 1 ​ × 9 8 ​
Simplify:
Amount of medium chocolate shake = 63 8 ​ pint of a milk
Therefore, the medium shake take 63 8 ​ pint of a milk. ;

The medium shake takes 63 8 ​ pint of milk. This is found by calculating 7 1 ​ of the amount of milk in a large shake, which is 9 8 ​ pint. Multiplying these fractions gives the final result.
