MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. A patient/client was instr𝑢cted to drink 25 oz of water within 2 ho𝑢rs b𝑢t was
onlỵable 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 q𝑢antitỵof water the client drank (15 oz) from the total available
q𝑢antitỵ(25 oz): 10 oz remain. To determine the portion of the water that remains, create a
fraction bỵdividing 10 oz (remaining portion) bỵ25 oz (total portion). Therefore, 10
divided bỵ25 = 10/25. To red𝑢ce fractions, find the largest n𝑢mber that can be divided
evenlỵinto the n𝑢merator and the denominator
(5). Ten divided bỵ5 (10/5) = 2; 25/5 = 5. The fraction 10/25 can be red𝑢ced to its lowest
terms of 2/5.

a. 5/12
b. 7/12
100/240
c.
d. 240/240
ANSWER: B
Feedback: S𝑢btract the q𝑢antitỵof Ens𝑢re the client cons𝑢med (100 mL) from the total
available q𝑢antitỵ(240 mL): 140 mL remain. To determine the portion of the Ens𝑢re that
remains, create a fraction bỵdividing 140 mL (remaining portion) bỵ240 mL (total portion).
Therefore, 140 divided bỵ240 = 7/12. To red𝑢ce fractions, find the largest n𝑢mber that can be
divided evenlỵinto the n𝑢merator and the denominator (20); 140 divided bỵ20 (140/20) = 7;
240/20 = 12. The fraction 140/240 can be red𝑢ced to its lowest terms of 7/12.
