Answer to Question 1

1
Using adjusted-dose heparin rather than fixed-dose heparin may result in fewer thromboembolic events, because anticoagulation is more precisely controlled.

Answer to Question 2

3
A decimal fraction has a denominator of 10 or a multiple of 10. Instead of a denominator, a de-cimal point is added to the numerator:  = 25/100 = 0.25
