HESI A2 Math Practice Test 2024
1. A hospital nurse's schedule rotates every 4 days. The nurse works 3 days and has 1 day off. If the nurse's first day off is a Monday, what is the nurse's second day off?
- A. Friday
- B. Saturday
- C. Thursday
- D. Wednesday
Correct answer: A
Rationale: The nurse's schedule repeats every 4 days, with 3 days of work and 1 day off. If the first day off is Monday, then after 4 days (Monday + 4 days), the second day off will fall on Friday. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choice B (Saturday), C (Thursday), and D (Wednesday) are incorrect as they do not align with the 4-day rotation pattern after the first day off on Monday.
2. Reduce 5 & 3/4 divided by 1/2.
- A. 5 & 1/2
- B. 2 & 3/8
- C. 18
- D. 11 & 1/2
Correct answer: D
Rationale: To divide mixed numbers, convert them to improper fractions. 5 & 3/4 = 23/4 and 1/2 = 2/1. So, 23/4 ÷ 2/1 = 23/4 * 1/2 = 23/8 = 2 & 7/8. Therefore, 5 & 3/4 divided by 1/2 reduces to 11 & 1/2. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not represent the correct result of dividing 5 & 3/4 by 1/2.
3. What is the result of adding 12 + 2 + 312?
- A. 936
- B. 374.4
- C. 326
- D. 318.24
Correct answer: C
Rationale: To find the sum of 12 + 2 + 312, you simply need to add these numbers together. 12 + 2 = 14, and when you add 312 to 14, you get the correct total of 326. Therefore, the correct answer is C. Choice A (936), choice B (374.4), and choice D (318.24) are incorrect as they do not represent the correct sum of the given numbers.
4. Subtract 12 - 7 4\5.
- A. 5 1\5
- B. 5 2\5
- C. 4 5\6
- D. 3 1\3
Correct answer: A
Rationale: Subtract the whole numbers and then subtract the fractions: 12 - 7 4\5 = 5 1\5.
5. Convert 3/4 to a decimal.
- A. 0.75
- B. 0.5
- C. 0.65
- D. 0.85
Correct answer: A
Rationale: To convert a fraction to a decimal, divide the numerator by the denominator. In this case, 3 divided by 4 is equal to 0.75. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not represent the equivalent decimal value of 3/4. 0.5 is the decimal equivalent of 1/2, 0.65 is the decimal equivalent of 13/20, and 0.85 is the decimal equivalent of 17/20.
