MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. A patient/client was instructed to drink 25 oz of water within 2 hours but was only able to drink
15 oz. What portion of the water remained?
a. 2/5
b. 3/5
c. 2/25
d. 25/25
ANSWER; A
Feedback: Subtract the quantity of water the client drank (15 oz) from the total available quantity (25
oz): 10 oz remain. To determine the portion of the water that remains, create a fraction by dividing 10
oz (remaining portion) by 25 oz (total portion). Therefore, 10 divided by 25 = 10/25. To reduce fractions,
find the largest number that can be divided evenly into the numerator and the denominator
(5). Ten divided by 5 (10/5) = 2; 25/5 = 5. The fraction 10/25 can be reduced to its lowest terms of 2/5.
