Answer:
(c) is closest to the correct answer
Step-by-step explanation:
The question answers itself: "Mr. Jones's prescription calls for 1.04 tablets PER DAY, thus the amount of tablets Mr. Jones should talk daily are 1.04. Since none of the answers in the answer set have '1.04' in them, we have to use some basic logic:
The list of answers are, a) 1.25. We can rule that one out as it is not 1.04. We can also rule out b) and d) using the same logic. Thus, by process of elimination, we are left with c) 1 O. Not only is 1.0 (or just 1) the closest number to the actual amount (1.04) but it also makes the most sense, as one cannot take .04 (or 4/100ths) of a pill.
