Patient eats 1 cup of soup (0.5 cup serving). How many servings?

Rationale

Patient has consumed 2 servings of soup.

The patient ate 1 cup of soup, and since each serving is 0.5 cup, dividing the total amount consumed by the serving size reveals that the patient has had 2 servings.

A (1) YOUR ANSWER

This choice incorrectly suggests that the patient consumed only 1 serving. Since each serving is 0.5 cup, the total amount of 1 cup corresponds to 2 servings, not 1.

B (1.5) YOUR ANSWER

Choosing 1.5 servings implies that the patient consumed 0.75 cup of soup (1.5 servings x 0.5 cup/serving). However, the patient actually consumed 1 cup, which exceeds this amount, making this choice incorrect.

C (2) CORRECT

The patient correctly consumed 2 servings of soup. Given that 1 cup equals 2 servings when each serving is 0.5 cup, this choice accurately reflects the amount eaten.

D (2.5) YOUR ANSWER

This option suggests that the patient consumed 1.25 cups of soup (2.5 servings x 0.5 cup/serving). Since the patient only had 1 cup, this choice overestimates the amount consumed and is therefore incorrect.

Conclusion

In summary, the patient ate 1 cup of soup, equating to 2 servings when each serving is 0.5 cup. The other options miscalculate the servings based on the total amount consumed, emphasizing the importance of correctly interpreting serving sizes in dietary contexts.
