Answer 1

28/5

Explanation:

Answer 2

5

Explanation:

Since you're familiar with the decimal equivalents of eighths, you know that ...

0.625 < 0.7 < 0.750

5/8 < 7/10 < 6/8

Ana can pour 5 glasses of chocolate milk from the amount she has.

__

You can also write an inequality ...

(1/8)g ≤ 7/10

g ≤ (7/10)(8) = 5 6/10 . . . . . multiply by 8

Ana can pour 5 glasses, but not quite 6.
