so we have to divide 5/8 into 5 equal segments.

5 5
-- ÷ ---
8 1

in order to divide fractions we need to flip the second fraction and change the sign from a divition sign to a multiplication sign

5 1 5
-- × --- = ---
8 5 40

now we just simplify 5/40 is equal to 1/8

each glass gets 1/8 of a quart
