Review Question
• Which of the following decimal numbers are NOT written correctly for nursing charting?
A.1.2B..12C.12.0D.0.012
Calculators!!
• Bring a calculator to class• You may not use cell phones during tests• You may not borrow a calculator from another
student until they have turned in their test
Multiplication of Decimals – Without a calculator
• The decimal point in the product of decimal fractions is placed the same number of places to the left in the product, as the total number after the decimal points in the fractions multiplied.– 0.42 x 0.6 =
0.42 (2 places to the left)x 0.6 (1 place to the left) 252 (count 3 places to left) .252
0.252
Multiplication of Decimals – with a calculator
– 0.42 x 0.6 =
• Enter the number 0.42• Press the multiplication function (x)• Enter the number 0.6 • Press the equal function (=)• Write down the answer
Multiplication of Decimals – Without a calculator
• If the product contains insufficient numbers for correct placement of the decimal point, add as many zeros as necessary to the left of the product to correct this– 1.3 x 0.07
1.3 (1 place to the left)x 0.07 (2 places to the left) 91 (count 3 places to the left) .091
0.091
Multiplication of Decimals – With a calculator
– 1.3 x 0.07
Enter 1.3 Press the (x) buttonEnter 0.07Press the (=) buttonWrite down the answer
Multiplication of Decimals
• Example – 1.08 x 0.05• 1.08 (count 2 places)
x 0.05 (count 2 places) 540 (count 4 places) .0540
0.0540 (add a zero in front)
0.054 (drop extra zero)
Multiplication of Decimals
• Example – 1.08 x 0.05
– Enter 1.08 – Enter x– Enter 0.05– Press =– Write down the answer

Division of Decimal Fractions
• 3 step process1. Eliminate the decimal point2. Reduction of numbers ending in zero3. Reduction of numbers using common
denominator
• Look for which number has the must numbers to the right of the decimal – start there.
• Count how many places you have to move the decimal to the right before it is “gone”
• Move the decimal the same number of places to the other number.
• What ever you do the numerator you must do to the denominator
Eliminate the decimal point from the decimal fraction

denominator
Reduction of numbers ending in zero
• Numbers that end in zero or zero’s may initially be reduced by crossing off the same number of zeros in both the numerator and denominator– Example
500 =20
Reduction of numbers ending in zero
• Numbers that end in zero or zero’s may initially be reduced by crossing off the same number of zeros in both the numerator and denominator– Example
500 = 500 =20 20

Reducing fractions
• To reduce fractions, divide the numerator and the denominator by the highest common denominator (the highest number that will divide into both)– Usually 2, 3, 4, 5
Your Turn
• Reduce the fractions as much as possible in preparation for final division

Expressing to the nearest tenth
• 1234.567– 5 is in the tenth place– 6 is in the hundredth place– 7 is in the thousandth place– . Decimal point– 4 is in the ones place– 3 is in the tens place– 2 is in the hundreds place– 1 is in the thousands place
Expressing to the nearest tenth
• To express an answer to the nearest tenth, the division is carried to hundredths (2 places after the decimal). When the number representing hundredth is 5 or larger, the number representing tenths is increased by one. – Example• 1.66
– 1.7
Your turn
• You did a problem on the calculator and the answer came out as follows. Express your answer to the nearest tenths.

Expressing to the nearest hundredth
• To express an answer to the nearest hundredth, the division is carried to the thousandths (3 places after the decimal point). When the number representing the thousandth is 5 or larger, the number representing the hundredths is increased by one.– Example
• 0.893 – 0.89

Mrs. Keele, I want to be a nurse, not a
mathematician! Why do I have to learn
this? What does this have to do with
nursing?
You are to administer 3 tablets with a dosage strength of 0.04 mg each. What total dosage are
you giving?
– 3 tablets x 0.04 mg = 3 (0 places to the left)x 0.04 mg (2 places to the left) 12 mg (2 to the left) .12 mg 0.12 mg– 3 tablets x 0.04 mg = 0.12 mg
Tablets are labeled 0.2 mg and you are to give 3 ½ (3.5) tablets. What total dosage is this?
– 3.5 tablets x 0.2 mg =
3.5 (1 place)x 0.2 mg (1 place)70 mg (2 places) .7 mg 0.7 mg– 3.5 tablets x 0.2 mg = 0.7 mg
