A patient needs to increase his calcium intake. If each tablet contains 500 mg of calcium and the patient needs to take 1,500 mg per day, how many tablets should the patient take?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To calculate the number of tablets needed, divide the total daily calcium intake required (1,500 mg) by the amount of calcium in each tablet (500 mg). 1,500 mg · 500 mg = 3 tablets. Therefore, the patient should take 3 tablets to meet the 1,500 mg daily intake. Choice B, 4 tablets, is incorrect because it would exceed the required 1,500 mg. Choice C, 2 tablets, is insufficient to meet the daily intake. Choice D, 5 tablets, is also incorrect as it would exceed the required amount.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Rationale: - The patient needs to take 2 tablets for every 30 pounds of body weight. - If the patient weighs 150 pounds, we can calculate the number of tablets needed by dividing the weight by 30 and then multiplying by 2. - 150 pounds / 30 pounds = 5 - 5 x 2 = 10 tablets - Therefore, the patient should take 10 tablets.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To find the volume of a hemispherical bowl, we use half the formula for a sphere's volume: (2/3) * π * (radius)^3. Given the diameter is 30cm, the radius is half of that, which is 15cm. Substitute the radius into the formula: (2/3) * π * (15cm)^3 ≈ 2700 cu cm. Therefore, the correct volume is approximately 2700 cu cm. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not correctly calculate the volume of the hemispherical bowl.
