  1. Introductory Pharmacology - Fractions Ann MacLeod, RN, BScN, MPH

  2. Objectives • Convert Roman Numerals to Arabic • Convert Arabic to Roman Numerals • Compare the size of fractions • Add and subtract fractions • Divide and Multiply fractions • Reduce fractions to the lowest terms

  3. 1/2 ss 1 I, id 2 II ii 3 III iii 4 IV iv 5 V v 6 VI vi 7 VII vii 8 VIII viii 9 IX ix 10 X x 11 XI xi 15 XV xv 20 XX xx 30 XXX xxx 50 L l 100 C c Roman Numerals

  4. Roman Numerals Cont’d • 12 1/2 xiiss • 26 xvi • 32 xxxii

  5. Size of Fractions • Numerator top number • Denominator bottom number • the closer the numerator is to the bottom number the closer to 1 or the bigger it is • e.g. 5/6 is greater than 3/6 = 1/2 • the larger the denominator with 1 as the numerator the smaller the fraction • e.g. 1/100 is smaller than 1/50

  6. Least term • 4/6 divide 2 into the top and bottom • = 2/3 no other numbers will go into both numerator and denominator

  7. Making a common denominator 1/5 + 2/3 (multiply the 2 denominators) (cross multiply the numerators) 3/15 + 10/15 = 13/15

  8. Common denominator for mixed fractions 3 1/2 + 2 3/4 ( multiply denominator by the whole # then add the numerator) 7/2 + 11/4 ( then make a common denominator) = 14/4 + 11/4 = 25/4 = 6 1/4 (to revert to mixed fraction,divide the denominator into the numerator and the difference 25-24 is the numerator of fraction)
