Final answer:

Ana can pour 5 full glasses of horchata from 7/10 of a liter, as each glass holds 1/8 of a liter.

Step-by-step explanation:

The subject of the question is to determine how many glasses of horchata Ana can pour if each glass holds 1/8 of a liter and she has 7/10 of a liter of horchata. To find the answer, we perform division: the total amount of horchata (7/10 liter) divided by the amount each glass can hold (1/8 liter).

Step 1: Write the total amount of horchata as an improper fraction or a decimal for easier computation. In decimal form, 7/10 is 0.7 liters.

Step 2: Since each glass holds 1/8 of a liter, we can convert this fraction to a decimal, which is 0.125 liters.

Step 3: Divide the total amount of horchata by the amount per glass to find out how many glasses she can pour: 0.7 ÷ 0.125 = 5.6.

Therefore, Ana can pour 5 full glasses of horchata and will have a little left over. As this is a measurement conversion and division problem, the volume of the glass and the total amount of horchata provided can help deduce the number of glasses that can be filled.
