Problem: Article: Vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin that is best absorbed by your body when you eat it with foods containing fat. Good options are red meat, liver, cream or cheese, whole milk, olive oil, and fatty fish like salmon. If your overall diet is very low in fat, you may not absorb vitamin A efficiently. Eating a diet high in saturated fat causes health problems like high cholesterol, weight gain, and heart issues. The important thing is to eat a balanced diet, with enough fat but not an unhealthy amount. Your doctor can help you with this. Ask, "Can you help me come up with a healthy diet plan?" Taking your supplement when you haven't eaten anything, or even with very low-fat foods, may cause stomach upset, indigestion or heartburn. This also increases the chance that the vitamin could pass through your system without being fully absorbed by your body. Avocado contains a high amount of "good fats," and studies have shown this food might help your body absorb vitamin A. Adding one whole avocado to your meal may even double the amount of vitamin A you can absorb. You need to have enough zinc in your diet in order to fully absorb vitamin A. Women need at least 8mg every day (up to 10 or 11mg if pregnant or breastfeeding), and adult men need 11mg daily. Foods high in zinc include beef, pork chops, chicken, crab, oysters, lobster, fortified cereals and oatmeal, cashews, almonds, swiss cheese, chickpeas, and kidney beans.
Summary: Eat a meal containing fat with your vitamin. Avoid taking vitamin A supplements on an empty stomach. Eat avocado. Get enough zinc.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: To annualize your income, you need a sample of the income you earn over a year. You can get this from paystubs, paid invoices, or even your bank statement. If your income is extremely regular, you may not need more than a month of income to complete an annualization. If you receive income from multiple sources, make sure you have information for all sources you want to include. It's easiest to annualize income using months. Add up your income from all sources to get your total income for that period of time. Make a note of how many months of income you used to get that total. For example, suppose you have 3 monthly paychecks of $7,000, $6,500, and $6,800. Your total would be $20,300 of income over a 3-month period. To annualize your income, use the ratio of the number of months in a year (12) over the number of months in the period you used to get your total. When you divide, your result will always be a number greater than 1. For example, if you totaled your income over 3 months, your ratio would be 12/3 = 4. Once you've divided the ratio, multiple the total income you found for the period by that number. The result will be the estimated amount of income you earn in a year. For example, if your total income over a 3-month period was $20,300, your annualized income would be $20,300 x 4 = $81,200.

SUMMARY: Gather income reports for 2 or 3 months. Total your income for the period. Divide the number of months in a year by the months of income. Multiply your total income by the result of the ratio.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: After you've had some practice comparing decimals, this step will no longer be necessary, but writing out the decimals will force you to pay attention to the numbers. You can write the decimals you're comparing out in one of several ways including both side by side, vertical, and table. If you're most comfortable comparing numbers written side-by-side, write the decimals out this way. Most math problems dealing with inequalities are written this way. A side by side decimal comparison would be the following: 0.6 = 0.60 .34 > .10 502.50 < 599.22 2000.00 > .001 You may find it easier to compare decimals by writing each decimal on top of the other, as you would if you were adding them. If you write the numbers vertically, write them so the decimal points line up vertically. Make a grid, filling in each space with a digit or a decimal point, again making sure that the decimal points line up vertically.
Summary:
Write out the decimals you're comparing. Write Side-by-side. Compose Vertically. Know how to organize decimals in a table.
