Multiplication of Fractions

1. Multiply the numerators.

2. Multiply the denominators.

3. Place the product of the numerators over the product of the denominators.

4. Reduce to lowest terms.

Division of Fractions

1. Invert the divisor.

2. Multiply the two fractions.

3. Reduce to lowest terms.

Ex. (2/3)/(6/8)

a. (2/3)*(8/6)

b. 16/18

c.div by 2 = 8/9

mL = gtt

mL = tsp

mL = Tbsp

mL = fl. oz

mL = cup

1 mL = 15 drops (gtt)

5 mL = 1 tsp

15 mL = 1 Tbsp

30 mL = 1 fl. oz

240 mL = 1 cup

Fahrenheit to Celsius

T_(c) = (T_(f) -32)*5/9

or

T_(c) = (T_(f) -32)*1.8

Celsius to Fahrenheit

T_(f) = T_(c)*9/5 +32

or

T_(f) = T_(c)*1.8+32

Dimensial Analysis Method

ex. x g = 1g/1000mg * 300mg/1

(mg cancel and multiply across)

x = 300/1000 g

x =3/10 g or 0.3 g

Process of Infection

1. Causative agent (Link 1)

2. Reservoir (Link 2)

3. Portal of exit (Link 3)

4. Mode of transfer (Link 4)

5. Portal of entry (Link 5)

6. Susceptible host (Link 6)

Naturally Acquired Immunity

Once exposed to an organism, the body produces

antibodies against the invader.

Ex: Varicella (chickenpox)

Passive acquired immunity

A person is given an antitoxin or antiserum that contains antibodies or antitoxins that have been developed by another person

Ex: Tetanus antitoxin

Naturally acquired passive immunity

fetus receives antibodies from mother through placental blood before birth

Artifically acquired passive immunity

Through the process of injection of vaccines or immunizations

Ex: Tetanus and Diptheria (Td)

Artifically acquired passive immunity

Provided by injection with antibodies devired from infected blood of people or animals. Ex: Hep A
