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.
