To determine how many cups of strawberries each student received, we can divide the total number of cups of strawberries by the number of students.

We are given:
- Total cups of strawberries = 6 cups
- Number of students = 20 students

To find the number of cups each student gets, we divide:

\[
\text{Cups per student} = \frac{6 \text{ cups}}{20 \text{ students}} = \frac{6}{20}
\]

Now, we simplify the fraction \(\frac{6}{20}\) by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 2:

\[
\frac{6}{20} = \frac{6 \div 2}{20 \div 2} = \frac{3}{10}
\]

So, each student gets \(\frac{3}{10}\) cups of strawberries in their yogurt.

### Answer:
Each student received **\(\frac{3}{10}\)** cups of strawberries.
