Solving the Question

We're given:

  • 9 ounces of white chocolate sold
  • [tex]9\dfrac{9}{10}[/tex] times as much milk chocolate as white chocolate sold

If the shop sold " [tex]9\dfrac{9}{10}[/tex]  times as much milk chocolate as white chocolate", we must multiply [tex]9\dfrac{9}{10}[/tex] by the amount of white chocolate sold to find the amount of milk chocolate sold.

Multiply [tex]9\dfrac{9}{10}[/tex] by 9 ounces:

[tex]9\dfrac{9}{10}\times9[/tex]

Convert the fraction into an improper fraction:

[tex]=\dfrac{99}{10}\times9[/tex]

Multiply:

[tex]=\dfrac{891}{10}[/tex]

Answer

The shop sold [tex]\dfrac{891}{10}[/tex] ounces of milk chocolate.
