Certified Clinical Medical Assistant Exam Practice Question
A medical assistant is helping a patient read the food label on a can of soup that has a serving size of 0.5 cups and 4 servings per container. If the patient consumes 1 cup of the soup, which of the following number of servings have they consumed?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: To determine the number of servings consumed, divide the total amount eaten by the serving size. The soup has a serving size of 0.5 cups. If the patient consumes 1 cup, dividing 1 cup by 0.5 cups per serving results in 2 servings.
Option A (1 serving) is incorrect as it underestimates the amount consumed. Option B (1.5 servings) is also wrong, as it inaccurately calculates the servings based on the total consumed. Option D (2.5 servings) overestimates the servings, suggesting more was consumed than actually was. Thus, the correct calculation confirms that 2 servings were consumed.
