A client is prescribed to receive three 360 mL cans of a dietary supplement every day. How many pints of the dietary supplement will the client ingest in a week?
1. 12 4/17
2. 13 5/11
3. 15 3/25
4. 17 11/13
3
Rationale 1: Pints/week = 1 pint/500 mL x 360 mL/1 can x 3 cans/1 day x 7 days/1 week. Multiply the numerators (1 x 360 x 3 x 7 = 7560). Multiply the denominators (500 x 1 x 1 x 1= 500). 7560/500 = 15.12 (12/100 = 3/25) = 15 3/25
