CHAPTER 1: Math for Clinical Calculations
Part A: Fractions
Question 1
Which of the following fractions is the largest?
A) 1/8
B) 1/4
C) 1/6
D) 1/3
Answer: D
Rationale:When numerators are equal, the fraction with the smallest denominator has the greatest
value. 1/3 = 0.333, which is the largest of the four options.
Question 2
What is the result of 3/4 ÷ 1/2?
A) 3/8
B) 1 1/2
C) 3/2
D) Both B and C
Answer: D
Rationale:3/4 ÷ 1/2 = 3/4 × 2/1 = 6/4 = 3/2 = 1 1/2. Both B and C are correct representations.
, Question 3
Convert 7/4 to a mixed number.
A) 1 1/4
B) 1 3/4
C) 2 1/4
D) 2 3/4
Answer: B
Rationale:7 ÷ 4 = 1 with a remainder of 3, so the mixed number is 1 3/4.
Question 4
What is 2/3 + 1/6?
A) 3/9
B) 5/6
C) 1/2
D) 3/6
Answer: B
Rationale:Convert to common denominator: 4/6 + 1/6 = 5/6.
Question 5
Reduce 18/24 to its lowest terms.
A) 6/8
B) 9/12
C) 3/4
