Answer 1

To determine how many servings Haneef can make with seven cups of couscous, we will start by noting that each serving requires half a cup of couscous.

To find the number of servings, we can use the following calculation:

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

Since he can make 14 servings and he has enough couscous to do so (using all 7 cups), the solution is viable.

Thus, the correct answer is:

14 servings, and yes it is a viable solution.
