Question

Randy made 10 quarts of lemonade, and he divided the lemonade equally between 8 pitchers. How many cups of lemonade did Randy put in each pitcher?

Answer 1

Answer:

5 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Randy made 10 quarts of lemonade, and he divided the lemonade equally between 8 pitchers

To find: The number of cups of lemonade did Randy put in each pitcher.

Solution: To find the number of cups of lemonade did Randy put in each pitcher, we need to first covert the quarts into cups.

We know that $1 \:\text{quart}=4\:\text{cups}$

So, 10 quarts can be converted into cups as

$4\times10=40$ cups

Now, we have the given scenario as 10 quarts of lemonade, i.e. 40 cups of lemonade is divided equally between 8 pitchers.

Therefore, the number of cups of lemonade Randy put in each pitcher

$=\frac{40}{8}$

$=5$ cups

Hence, Randy put 5 cups in each pitcher.

Answer 2

10 quarts equals 40 cups.
40 divided by 8 equals 5.
So Randy put 5 cups of lemonade in each pitcher.
Hope this helps!
