Question

Convert the following Decimal to Percentages

0.033 =

Answer 1

Correct Answers:

3.3

Rationale :

🧮To convert a decimal to a percentage, you multiply by 100 because “percent” means “per hundred.”

📊Multiplying 0.033 × 100 shifts the decimal point two places to the right, giving 3.3.

📏Adding the percent symbol turns this into 3.3%, which expresses the same value in percentage form.

🧠This conversion is important because many clinical values and drug concentrations are expressed in percent form rather than decimals.

📌Core Message

The decimal 0.033 becomes 3.3% by multiplying by 100 and adding the percent symbol.

Answer 2

Correct Answers:

80

Rationale :

🧮To change a decimal to a percentage, multiply the decimal by 100.

📊When you compute 0.8 × 100, you get 80, meaning 0.8 is equivalent to 80 per 100.

📏Writing this as a percentage requires adding the percent symbol, giving 80%.

🧠This shows that 0.8 represents a large proportion, which is important in interpreting lab values and dosage strengths.

📌Core Message

The decimal 0.8 converts to 80% by multiplying by 100 and attaching the % sign.

Answer 3

Correct Answers:

13.4

Rationale :

🧮First convert 98 lb to kg by dividing by 2.2, giving approximately 44.5 kg.

📊Then calculate the ordered dose: 15 mg/kg × 44.5 kg ≈ 668.2 mg of cefadroxil needed.

📏The concentration is 250 mg in 5 mL, which is 50 mg/mL, so 668.2 mg ÷ 50 mg/mL ≈ 13.36 mL.

🧠Rounding 13.36 mL to the nearest tenth gives 13.4 mL, which is the volume to administer safely.

📌Core Message

Convert weight to kg, calculate the mg dose (mg/kg), then use the solution concentration (mg/mL) to get 13.4 mL.

Answer 4

Correct Answers:

24

Rationale :

🧮First find the concentration of the heparin solution: 25,000 units in 500 mL.

📏Divide 25,000 ÷ 500 to get 50 units/mL, meaning each mL contains 50 units.

📊To deliver 1,200 units/hr, divide 1,200 units ÷ 50 units/mL = 24 mL/hr.

🧠Setting the pump to 24 mL/hr ensures the client receives the correct heparin dose per hour.

📌Core Message

Determine the solution concentration (units/mL), then divide the ordered units per hour by that concentration to get 24 mL/hr.

Answer 5

Correct Answers:

12.625

Rationale :

🧮First simplify 62/4 by dividing numerator and denominator by 2, giving 31/2.

📏To subtract 31/2 − 23/8, convert to a common denominator of 8, so 31/2 = 124/8.

📊Now subtract: 124/8 − 23/8 = 101/8, which is the exact fractional result.

🧠If you convert 101/8 to a decimal, you get 12.625, which can help in checking your work.

📌Core Message

Use a common denominator to subtract fractions, giving a final result of 101/8 (12.625).

Answer 6

Correct Answers:

False

Rationale :

🧮First compute 89/10 − 32/3 by finding a common denominator of 30, giving (267/30 − 320/30) = −53/30.

📊The right side of the statement is 57/30, which simplifies to 19/10, a positive value.

📏Comparing −53/30 and 57/30, they are clearly not equal in either sign or magnitude.

🧠Because the left and right sides are different, the statement cannot be true, so the correct choice is False.

📌Core Message

After simplifying both sides, 89/10 − 32/3 ≠ 57/30, so the statement is false.

Answer 7

Correct Answers:

37.2

Rationale :

🧮Use the formula C = (F − 32) × 5/9 for Fahrenheit to Celsius conversion.

📏Substitute F = 98.9: 98.9 − 32 = 66.9.

📊Multiply 66.9 × 5/9 ≈ 37.17°C, which is then rounded to 37.2°C to the nearest tenth.

🧠Accurate temperature conversion is important for interpreting vital signs and recognizing fever or normal body temperature.

📌Core Message

Apply the formula C = (F − 32) × 5/9 to convert 98.9°F to about 37.2°C.

Answer 8

Correct Answers:

0.5

Rationale :

🧮Recognize that 1 mg = 1,000 mcg, so 500 mcg = 0.5 mg.

📊Each tablet contains 1 mg, so the prescribed 0.5 mg is exactly half of a 1 mg tablet.

📏Because the tablet is scored, it is designed to be safely and accurately split in half.

🧠Thus, the correct amount to give for each dose is 0.5 tablet to meet the ordered 500 mcg.

📌Core Message

Convert 500 mcg to 0.5 mg, then give half of a 1 mg scored tablet, which is 0.5 tablet.

Answer 9

Correct Answers:

3

Rationale :

🧮Each tablet contains 200 mg, and the ordered dose is 600 mg.

📊Divide 600 mg ÷ 200 mg per tablet = 3, meaning three tablets are needed to reach the prescribed dose.

📏All tablets are the same strength, so the calculation is a straightforward ratio.

🧠Giving exactly 3 tablets ensures the client receives the correct 600 mg dose.

📌Core Message

To give 600 mg using 200 mg tablets, you need 3 tablets.

Answer 10

Correct Answers:

24

Rationale :

🧮First express 1¼ tablespoons as a decimal: 1.25 tablespoons per dose.

📊To find how many doses are in the bottle, divide 30 tablespoons ÷ 1.25 tablespoons per dose.

📏The division gives 24, meaning the bottle provides 24 complete doses.

🧠This type of calculation helps ensure there is enough medication for the ordered course of therapy.

📌Core Message

With 30 tablespoons and a dose of 1¼ tablespoons, the bottle contains 24 full doses.
