To determine how many servings Haneef can make with seven cups of couscous, we first need to know how much couscous is required for one serving. The recipe calls for half a cup of couscous per serving.
Now, we can calculate the total number of servings using the following formula:
Number of servings = Total couscous / Couscous per serving
Plugging in the values:
Number of servings = 7 cups / 0.5 cups per serving = 14 servings
Since Haneef can make 14 servings with the 7 cups of couscous, and he needs to use it all, this is indeed a viable solution.
Thus, the correct response is:
14 servings, and yes, it is a viable solution.
