Answer to Question 1

0.85 and 17/20

Global Rationale: To convert percentages to a fraction place the value of the percent in the numerator and the 100 as the denominator. For 85 this would be 85/100. Reduce this number further by dividing by 5 to determine the smallest fraction as being 17/20. To determine the decimal number begin again by placing 85 as the numerator and 100 as the denominator or 85/100. Since the denominator is 100, the number has 2 decimal points or 0.85.

Answer to Question 2

1,2,3,4

Rationale 1: A basic four-function (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division),
handheld calculator with a square-root key is sufficient to perform most medical dosage calculations. While having a percentage function may be useful, this is not required when calculating drug dosages.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
