1 hour=60 minutes
every 15 min, 10 sold
60/15=4
4(10)=40 sold in 1 hour
1 pots=6 cups
1/x=6/40
x=6.6
pots must be integer
x=7
number of pots of coffee is 7

Answer:

7 pots of coffee (If you want to be precise its 6 2/3)

Explanation:

So basically you need 10 cups of coffe in fifteen minutes, so 60/15=4 then time 10. so 40 is how much coffee you need in a hour, but we are solving the pot so 40/6= 6 2/3. but it says how many pots so we round it up so its 7. (Unless you wanna be precise)
