MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. Which of the following fractions is equivalent to 0.75?
A) 1/2
B) 3/4
C) 2/3
D) 4/5
Answer: B
Rationale: 3 ÷ 4 = 0.75. This is a fundamental fraction-to-decimal conversion used in dosage calculations.
2. When multiplying fractions, which of the following is the correct method?
A) Add the numerators and add the denominators
B) Multiply the numerators together and multiply the denominators together
C) Cross-multiply and subtract the results
D) Invert the second fraction and add
Answer: B
, Rationale: Multiplying fractions requires multiplying numerator × numerator and denominator ×
denominator.
3. Solve: 1/4 × 2/3 =
A) 3/8
B) 1/6
C) 2/12
D) Both B and C
Answer: D
Rationale: 1 × 2 = 2; 4 × 3 = 12 → 2/12, which reduces to 1/6. Both B and C are correct representations.
4. Which of the following decimals is the LARGEST?
A) 0.125
B) 0.25
C) 0.5
D) 0.075
Answer: C
Rationale: 0.5 = 1/2, which is greater than 0.25, 0.125, and 0.075.
5. Convert 3/5 to a decimal.
A) 0.35
B) 0.53
C) 0.60
D) 0.65
