Answer 1

Answer:

c

Explanation:

It really depends on what the stuff is. This should not be a math or physics question.

Having said that, I answer it by rounding it to 1.       1.04 is closest two one.

That is not entirely a satisfactory answer. Most people who take medications have pill splitters. They easily cut a pill in half. They can do this only if a the medicine's directions, or a pharmacist, or a doctor tells you can do this. Cutting it into quarters should never be done.

So a is really incorrect medically.

1.5 is too far away

C is probably the intended answer; it would annoy me no end if it was anything but c. If this was just a rounding question, it rounds to c. There is no medication that requires an intake of 1.04. No one could get that kind of accuracy.

2 is really too far away.
