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

Answer:

5 cups

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*10=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


=(40)/(8)


=5 cups

Hence, Randy put 5 cups in each pitcher.
