Q3) Subtract the decimals manually:

1.05 - 0.72 = __________

Answer: 0.33 11ea825f_126f_eb68_9591_3f3a119d7cd3_TB3411_00

Q4) Determine how many tablets will be needed to give the following dose:

Tablets are labeled 1.5 mg. You must give 0.75 mg.

Answer: 1/2 tab

0.5 1/2

Because 1.5 mg is greater than 0.75 mg, subtract:

1.5 mg - 0.75 mg = 0.75 mg 1/2 of 1.5 mg is 0.75 mg, so give 1/2 tab.
