29
Copyright ©2012, ©2008 by Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. Medical Dosage Calculations: A Dimensional Analysis Approach, Tenth Edition June L. Olsen Anthony P. Giangrasso Dolores Shrimpton Rounding off may either increase or decrease the number. For example, round off 1.267 to the nearest tenth (one decimal place) Answer: 1.3 Rounding down a number will not increase the number. In particular, to round 1.267 down to the tenths place (one decimal place) Answer: 1.2 Rounding Decimal Numbers

34
Copyright ©2012, ©2008 by Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. Medical Dosage Calculations: A Dimensional Analysis Approach, Tenth Edition June L. Olsen Anthony P. Giangrasso Dolores Shrimpton A decimal number represents a fraction with a denominator of 10, 100, 1000, and so on. Each decimal number has three parts: the whole number part, the decimal point, and the fraction part.

36
Copyright ©2012, ©2008 by Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. Medical Dosage Calculations: A Dimensional Analysis Approach, Tenth Edition June L. Olsen Anthony P. Giangrasso Dolores Shrimpton A number can be written in many different forms. For example, the decimal number 0.5 is read as five tenths. In fraction form, it is: where the numerator (the number on top) of the fraction is smaller than its denominator (the number on bottom). ½ is referred to as aproper fraction, or
37
Copyright ©2012, ©2008 by Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. Medical Dosage Calculations: A Dimensional Analysis Approach, Tenth Edition June L. Olsen Anthony P. Giangrasso Dolores Shrimpton A decimal number greater than 1, such as 3.5 is read as three and five tenths, and can also be written as a mixed number which combines a whole number and a proper fraction, This mixed number, can also be changed to an improper fraction where the numerator (top number) is larger than or equal to its denominator (bottom number).

Copyright ©2012, ©2008 by Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. Medical Dosage Calculations: A Dimensional Analysis Approach, Tenth Edition June L. Olsen Anthony P. Giangrasso Dolores Shrimpton 2 To change a fraction to a decimal number, think of the fraction as a division problem. For example: means or 2 ÷ 5
41
Copyright ©2012, ©2008 by Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. Medical Dosage Calculations: A Dimensional Analysis Approach, Tenth Edition June L. Olsen Anthony P. Giangrasso Dolores Shrimpton Here are the steps for this division: Step One: Replace 2 with 2.0 and then place a decimal point directly above the decimal point in 2.0
