8 servings of fruit salad can be prepared.

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know, there are 2 pints in 1 quart.

As stated by the problem, there are 80 blueberries in each pint, and we have one quart of blueberries. There for we have 160 blueberries. Divide that by 20 and you get 8.

Two pints >> One quart

80 blueberries >> One pint

20 blueberries >> One serving of salad

80 x 2 = 160

160/20 = 8

Therefore there are eight servings of blueberries.
