Answer: 7 glasses

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question, first, we have to subtract the amount of juice poured (1/8) to the amount of remaining juice before he poured some (1).

1-1/8 = 7/8 remaining juice

Since he pours the same amount into more glasses until the pitcher is empty, we have to divide the remaining juice (7/8) by the amount poured in each glass (1/8).

7/8 : 1/8 = 7 glasses
