CALCULATIONS CHAPTER 6
CHAPTER OUTLINE • Numbers • Fractions • Decimal Numbers • Significant Figures • Measurement • Equations & Variables • Ratio & Proportion • Percents & Solutions • Alligation • Powder Volume • Children’s Doses • Calculations for Business • Review
ROMAN NUMERALS • Positional notation • When the second of two letters has a value equal to or smaller than that of the first, add their values • ixvi = 50 + 10 + 5 + 1 = 66 • When the second of two letters has a value greater than that of the first, subtract the smaller from the larger • xc = 10 subtracted from 100
FRACTIONS Numerators Denominators Reciprocals Adding and subtracting fractions Multiplying and dividing fractions
DECIMAL NUMBERS Multiplying decimals Significant figures
SIGNIFICANT FIGURES • Four rules for assigning significant figures: 1. Digits other than zero are always significant. 2. Final zeros after a decimal point are always significant. 3. Zeros between two other significant digits are always significant. 4. Zeros used only to space the decimal are never significant.
MEASUREMENT Metric system Avoirdupois system Apothecary system Household units Measuring temperature
RATIO & PROPORTION A ratio states a relationship between two quantities Two equal ratios form a proportion
PERCENTS & SOLUTIONS • Percent Weight-to-Volume • Grams per 100 milliliters • Percent Volume-to-Volume • Milliliters per 100 milliliters • Milliequivalents • mEq
POWDER VOLUME FV = D + PV
