pints

Explanation:

Step1: Count days for $\frac{6}{8}$ pint

Count the Xs at $\frac{6}{8}$: 3 days

Step2: Calculate total juice for $\frac{6}{8}$

Multiply amount by days: $3 \times \frac{6}{8} = \frac{18}{8}$

Step3: Simplify the fraction

Divide numerator/denominator by 2: $\frac{18\div2}{8\div2} = \frac{9}{4}$

Answer:

$\frac{9}{4}$ pints
