Here what we need to do is a change of units, from gallons to cups, and then find and solve a simple algebraic equation.
We will find that the answer is: There are 6 cups left in the pitcher.
Now let's solve the problem:
We know that Hilary and Marta made a one-gallon pitcher of fruit punch.
So they have 1 gal of juice.
We know that:
1 gal = 16 cups.
Then we can say that they have 16 cups of juice, which is equivalent to 1 gallon.
Now, they drink a total of 5 glasses that held 2 cups each, so they drink a total of:
5*(2 cups) = 10 cups of juice.
The amount that is left in the pitcher will be the difference between the initial amount and the amount that they drink:
16 cups - 10 cups = 6 cups.
There are 6 cups left in the pitcher.
