Answer 1

To determine how many servings Haneef can make with seven cups of couscous, we need to calculate how many servings can be made based on the requirement of half a cup of couscous per serving.

1. Determine the total servings:

   • Each serving requires 0.5 cups of couscous.
   • With 7 cups of couscous available, the number of servings can be calculated as follows:

   \[ \text{Number of servings} = \frac{7 \text{ cups}}{0.5 \text{ cups per serving}} = 14 \text{ servings} \]

2. Determine if the solution is viable:

   • Since the calculations show that Haneef can make exactly 14 servings with the 7 cups of couscous needed, it is a viable solution.

Given this information, the correct response is:

14 servings, and yes, it is a viable solution.
