+%28+7%2F8+%29%2A%28+4%2F5+%29+
+%28+7%2F2+%29%2A%28+1%2F5+%29+
+7%2F10+
7/10 of a quart is poured into the bowl
-------------------------------------------
Another way is:
+4%2F5+=+8%2F10+ so you have:
+%28+7%2F8+%29%2A%28+8%2F10+%29+
+7%2F10+
OK

1 quart of milk is equal to 32 ounces.
7/8 of a quart of milk is equal to 28 ounces.
4/5 * 28 ounces of milk is equal to 22.4 ounces.

she pours 22.4 ounces of milk into the bowl.

22.4 / 32 = .7 = 7/10 of a quart of milk that's poured into the bowl.
