QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
solving conditional proportions
If a medication vial has a concentration of 50 mg of drug in 5 ml of volume, what
is the proportion of drug to volume
10 to 1
The Butterfly Method: Identifying Equivalent Fractions
Ratio
Unit Conversions for Household Measures of Volume
● 1 tablespoon = 3 teaspoons
● 1 fluid ounce = 2 tablespoons
● 1 cup = 8 fluid ounces
● 1 pint = 2 cups
● 1 quart = 2 pints
● 1 gallon = 4 quarts
Common Metric Conversions
● 1 L = 1000 mL
● 1 kg = 1000 g
● 1 g = 1000 mg (milligrams)
● 1 mg = 1000 mcg (micrograms)
Conversion between Household and Metric units
● 1 cc (cubic cm) = 1 mL
● 1 fl oz = 30 mL
● 1 L = 1.057 qt
● 1 tsp = 5 mL
● 1 kg = 2.2 lb
● 1 oz = 28.35 g
Temperature Conversions: Fahrenheit to Celsius
Fahrenheit = Celsius times 9/5 + 32
Shorthand version of the
above formula: F = 1.8C + 32
Temperature Conversion: Celsius to Fahrenheit
Celsius = (Fahrenheit - 32) times 5/9
