Introduction
Basic math skills are building blocks for accurate dosage calculations.
Healthcare professionals need confidence in math skills.
A minor mistake can mean major errors in the patient’s medication.

Producing Fractions and Mixed Numbers In the Proper Form
Fractions and mixed numbers measure a portion or part of a whole amount.
They are written in two ways: as common fractions as decimals

Common Fractions represent equal parts of a whole;
consist of two numbers and a fraction bar.

With a scored (marked) tablet for 2 parts, you:
administer 1 part of that tablet each day;
show this as 1 part of 2 wholes or ½;
read it as “one half.”
