Question

a patient drinks 1 1/4 of fluids out of 240 cc what is the amount so the questions is what is 1 1/4 of 240

Answer 1

300cc

Answer 2

1/4 is actually .25, so 1 1/4 is 1.25. Now take this and multiply with 240 in your calculator to get the answer. or by hand, you can do it by separating it out. so you can mutiply 1 by 240, which just gives you 240 back. then add this to the result of (240)(1/4), which is same as 240/4 = 60. so 240 and 60 added together gives you 300. your units were cc, so add those to your answer at the end. so 300 cc..hope this helps
