To determine how many full mugs can be filled with 7/10 gallon of milk when each mug holds 1/8 gallon, you would divide the total amount of milk by the volume of one mug:
\[
\text{Number of mugs} = \frac{\frac{7}{10}}{\frac{1}{8}}
\]
To divide by a fraction, you can multiply by its reciprocal:
\[
\text{Number of mugs} = \frac{7}{10} \times \frac{8}{1} = \frac{7 \times 8}{10 \times 1} = \frac{56}{10} = 5.6
\]
Since you can only have whole mugs, you can fill **5 full mugs** with the milk.
