The coffee cups can hold 7/9 of a pint of liquid. If Emily puts 2/3 of s pint of coffee into a cup, how much milk can a customer add?

Respuesta :

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

Step-by-step 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,

[tex]Amount\ of\ milk = \frac{7}{9} - \frac{2}{3}\\=\frac{7-6}{9} = \frac{1}{9}[/tex]

Hence,

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