Answer: The number of cups of strawberries in each pitcher of juice is 1 5/6cups.

Step-by-step explanation: Take "y" to be the number of cups of strawberries in a pitcher of juice.

If 11cups were used to make 6cups of juice, then "y" cups of strawberries would be contained in 1 pitcher of juice.

11cups - - - - - - - - - - 6 pitchers

"y" cups - - - - - - - - - - 1 pitcher

"y" cups = 11/6 = 1 5/6 cups

Therefore, there's 1 5/6 cups of strawberries in each pitcher of juice
