d.

Answer 1

Hello there!

Answer:

Your answer would be 920IU

Step-by-step explanation:

IU would also be known as International unit. This is a unit that is used to measure the intake of vitamins, some medications, hormones, and blood products. This is known to refer to the volume or mass, but it really depends on the type of substance it is used to measure (including the biological activity).

Solving:

Lets break down the different components so solving this question would be easier.

1 μ would be the same, or equivalent, as 40IU

In your question, the 6 oz of baked salmon has 23 μ.

Since we know how much 1 μ is, we can use that to find out how much (IU) is in 23 μ.

To do this we would multiply 23 by 40

23 × 40 = 920IU

There is 920IU of vitamin d intake from a 9 oz salmon.
