A hospital dietician must plan a lunch menu that provides 485 Cal, 41.5 g of carbohydrates, and 35 mg of calcium. A 3-oz serving of broiled ground beef contains 245 Cal, 0 g of carbohydrates, and $9 \mathrm{mg}$ of calcium. One baked potato contains 145 Cal, 34 g of carbohydrates, and 8 mg of calcium. A one-cup serving of strawberries contains 45 Cal, $10 \mathrm{g}$ of carbohydrates, and $21 \mathrm{mg}$ of calcium. (Source: Home and Garden Bulletin No. 72, U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C. 20402 ) How many servings of each are required to provide the desired nutritional values?
