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
Ans: A .
Feedback: Subtract the quantity of water the client drank (15 oz) from the total
available quantity (25 oz): 10 oz remain. To determine tahbierb.cpoomr/tteisot n 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. .
