Ana drinks horchata out of glasses that each hold (1)/(8) of a liter. She has (7)/(10) of a liter of horchata in her refrigerator. How many glasses of horchata can she pour? ◻ glasses

Prompt: question_prompt: How many glasses of horchata can Ana pour? Total Horchata and Glass Capacity: Total horchata Ana has: (7)/(10) liter. Each glass holds: (1)/(8) liter. To find the number of glasses, divide the total horchata by the amount each glass holds. Calculate Total Glasses: Calculate (7)/(10) ÷ (1)/(8). To divide by a fraction, multiply by its reciprocal. So, (7)/(10) * (8)/(1) = 56/10. Simplify and Determine Final Answer: Simplify 56/10 to get 5.6. Ana can't pour a fraction of a glass, so she can pour 5 full glasses.

Prompt: question_prompt: How many glasses of horchata can Ana pour?
Total Horchata and Glass Capacity: Total horchata Ana has: $(7)/(10)$ liter. Each glass holds: $(1)/(8)$ liter. To find the number of glasses, divide the total horchata by the amount each glass holds.
Calculate Total Glasses: Calculate $(7)/(10) \div (1)/(8)$ . To divide by a fraction, multiply by its reciprocal. So, $(7)/(10) \times (8)/(1) = 56/10$ .
Simplify and Determine Final Answer: Simplify $\frac{56}{10}$ to get $5.6$ . Ana can't pour a fraction of a glass, so she can pour $5$ full glasses.
