Question

A typical multivitamin tablet can contain 3.00 mg of vitamin B2 (riboflavin), and the RDA is 0.0030 g/day. How many such tablets should a person take each day to get the proper amount of this vitamin, assuming that he gets none from any other sources? Express your answer as an integer.

Answer 1

Answer: 1 tablet per day

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Mass of vitamin B2 in the tablet = 3.00mg = 0.003g

Daily requirement = 0.0030g/day

To get proper amount of vitamin ( not too much or too low), the number of tablets to take per day is given as;

N = mass per tablet/daily requirement

N = 0.003g/0.003g/day

N = 1 tablet per day

Therefore, a person should use one tablet per day.
