A client is prescribed to receive a tube feeding that is to be prepared with 4 ounces of water for every 8 ounce can of feeding. If the feeding bag contains 24 ounces, how many cans of feeding will the nurse use to prepare the mixture?
1. 1
2. 1.25
3. 1.50
4. 2

Rationale 1: Cans per feeding = 1 can/12 ounces x 24 ounces/feeding. Multiply the numerators (1 x 24 = 24). Multiply the denominators (12 x 1 = 12). 24/12 = 2 cans per feeding.
