4) 1/2 cup frozen yogurt, 8 oz skim milk, 4 oz cream cheese, and 11/2 cup of cottage cheese.

Answer 1

All four clients consumed the same number of dairy servings, which is 4 servings.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine which client consumed the highest number of dairy servings, we need to calculate the total number of servings for each client. Let's evaluate each client's intake:

1. Client 1 consumed 1 serving of whole milk, 1 serving of hard cheese, 1 serving of pudding made with milk, and 1 serving of cream cheese, so the total is 4 servings.
2. Client 2 consumed 1 serving of yogurt, 1 serving of chocolate milk, 1 serving of cottage cheese, and 1 serving of hard cheese, so the total is 4 servings.
3. Client 3 consumed 1 serving of cottage cheese, 1 serving of whole milk, 1 serving of buttermilk, and 1 serving of hard cheese, so the total is 4 servings.
4. Client 4 consumed 1 serving of frozen yogurt, 1 serving of skim milk, 1 serving of cream cheese, and 1 serving of cottage cheese, so the total is 4 servings.

All four clients consumed the same number of dairy servings, which is 4 servings. Therefore, none of the clients consumed a higher number of dairy servings than the others.
