Answer:

160 1-cup servings are in a lemonade recipe that yields 10 gallons.

Explanation:

Finding this solution can be done through dimensional analysis.

1 cup = 1/2 pint, therefore

2 cups = 1 pint

4 cups = 2 pints

8 cups = 4 pints

16 cups = 8 pints

1 pint = 1/8 gal

Therefore, if 8 cups = 4 pints = 1/2 gallon, 16 cups = 1 gallon!

16x10 = 160 cups in a lemonade recipe that yields 10 gallons.
