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:

Number of servings = Total amount of couscous / Amount of couscous per serving Number of servings = 7 cups / (1/2 cup per serving)

To divide by a fraction, we can multiply by its reciprocal:

Number of servings = 7 cups * (2/1) Number of servings = 14 servings

Since Haneef can make 14 servings using all 7 cups of couscous, the answer is:

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