Answer 1

To determine how many servings Haneef can make with 7 cups of couscous when each serving requires half a cup, we can use the following calculation:

1. Each serving requires 0.5 cups of couscous.
2. To find the total number of servings, we divide the total amount of couscous by the amount needed per serving: \[ \text{Number of servings} = \frac{7 \text{ cups}}{0.5 \text{ cups/serving}} = 14 \text{ servings} \]

Since Haneef can make 14 servings using all 7 cups of couscous (as 7 cups divided by 0.5 cups per serving yields exactly 14), this is indeed a viable solution.

The correct response is: 14 servings, and yes, it is a viable solution.
