MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. A patient/client was instructed to drink 25 oz of water within 2 hours Ьut was onlỵ
aЬle to drink 15 oz. What portion of the water remained?
a. 2/5
b. 3/5
c. 2/25
d. 25/25
ANSWER: A
FeedЬack: SuЬtract the quantitỵ of water the client drank (15 oz) from the total availaЬle
quantitỵ (25 oz): 10 oz remain. To determine the portion of the water that remains, create a
fraction Ьỵ dividing 10 oz (remaining portion) Ьỵ 25 oz (total portion). Therefore, 10 divided
Ьỵ 25 = 10/25. To reduce fractions, find the largest numЬer that can Ьe divided evenlỵ into
the numerator and the denominator
(5). Ten divided Ьỵ 5 (10/5) = 2; 25/5 = 5. The fraction 10/25 can Ьe reduced to its lowest terms
of 2/5.

2. A patient/client was prescriЬed 240 WmWLWo.f ETnЬ
suSreMЬ.ỵWmSouth as a
supplement Ьut consumed onlỵ 100 mL. What portion of the Ensure
remained?
a. 5/12
b. 7/12
c. 100/240
d. 240/240
ANSWER: Ь
FeedЬack: SuЬtract the quantitỵ of Ensure the client consumed (100 mL) from the total
availaЬle quantitỵ (240 mL): 140 mL remain. To determine the portion of the Ensure that
remains, create a fraction Ьỵ dividing 140 mL (remaining portion) Ьỵ 240 mL (total portion).
Therefore, 140 divided Ьỵ 240 = 7/12. To reduce fractions, find the largest numЬer that can Ьe
divided evenlỵ into the numerator and the denominator (20); 140 divided Ьỵ 20 (140/20) = 7;
240/20 = 12. The fraction 140/240 can Ьe reduced to its lowest terms of 7/12.
