  1. Conversions 1-1 Conversions are important for administering medications. Nurses need to be familiar with three types of measurement systems: the metric system, the household system (for example, cups and tablespoons), and the apothecary system (used by pharmacists and quickly being replaced with the metric system). Some measurements, like the pound and gallon, appear in two systems and don't need converting. However, if a nurse gets an order for medication that's in fluid ounces, and the medication bottle is in cubic centimeters, a conversion must be made.

  2. 1. 18 + (–25) = –7 ANSWER ? ? 4 1 2. – – = 2 3 2 3 Lesson 1.1, For use with pages 2-9 ANSWER

  3. ANSWER 23º F Lesson 1.1, For use with pages 2-9 3.What is the difference between a daily low temperature of –5º F and a daily high temperature of 18º F?

  4. 5 Graph the real numbers – and 3 on a number line. 4 5 Note that –= – 1.25. Use a calculator to approximate 3 to the nearest tenth: 4 3 1.7 (The symbol means is approximately equal to.) 5 So, graph – between –2 and –1, and graph 3 between 1 and 2, as shown on the number line below. 4 EXAMPLE 1 Graph real numbers on a number line SOLUTION

  5. ANSWER The correct answer is D. EXAMPLE 2 Standardized Test Practice SOLUTION From lowest to highest, the elevations are – 408, –156, –86, –40, –28, and –16.

  6. 7 1. Graph the numbers – 0.2, , –1, 2 , and –4 on a number line. 10 2 –4 –1 – 0.2 – 2 – 1 – 4 – 3 0 1 2 3 4 7 10 for Examples 1 and 2 GUIDED PRACTICE SOLUTION

  7. 2. Which list shows the numbers in increasing order? – 0.5, 1.5, – 2, – 0.75, 7 – 0.5, – 2, – 0.75, 1.5, 7 – 2, – 0.75, – 0.5, 1.5, 7 7 , 1.5, – 0.5 , – 0.75, – 2 ANSWER The correct answer is C. for Examples 1 and 2 GUIDED PRACTICE

  8. 1 7 + 4 = 4 + 7 13 = 1 13 EXAMPLE 3 Identify properties of real numbers Identify the property that the statement illustrates. SOLUTION Commutative property of addition SOLUTION Inverse property of multiplication

  9. a + (2 – a) = a + [2 + (– a)] EXAMPLE 4 Use properties and definitions of operations Use properties and definitions of operations to show that a + (2 – a) = 2. Justify each step. SOLUTION Definition of subtraction = a + [(– a) + 2] Commutative property of addition = [a + (– a)] + 2 Associative property of addition = 0 + 2 Inverse property of addition Identity property of addition = 2

  10. (2 3) 9 = 2 (3 9) 15 + 0 = 15 for Examples 3 and 4 GUIDED PRACTICE Identify the property that the statement illustrates. SOLUTION Associative property of multiplication. SOLUTION Identityproperty of addition.

  11. 4(5 + 25) = 4(5) + 4(25) 1 500 = 500 for Examples 3 and 4 GUIDED PRACTICE Identify the property that the statement illustrates. SOLUTION Distributive property. SOLUTION Identityproperty of multiplication.

  12. 3x + (6 + 4x) = 7x + 6 3x + (6 + 4x) = 3x + (4x + 6) for Examples 3 and 4 GUIDED PRACTICE Use properties and definitions of operations to show that the statement is true. Justify each step. SOLUTION Comm. prop. of addition = (3x + 4x) + 6 Assoc. prop. of addition Combine like terms. = 7x + 6
