HESI A2 Math Practice Test 2024 Questions
Question 1 of 5
Bill has 2.5 vacation days left for the rest of the year and 1.25 sick days left. If Bill uses all of his sick days and his vacation days, how many days will he have off work?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: To calculate the total days off, add Bill's remaining vacation days (2.5) and sick days (1.25): 2.5 + 1.25 = 3.75 days. Since Bill is using all his sick days and vacation days, he will have 3 full days off work. Therefore, the correct answer is D (4 days). Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not consider the combination of remaining days and assume a different outcome.
Question 2 of 5
A seamstress is measuring a model for a new dress. The tape measure is marked in centimeters. The seamstress needs to convert that measurement into inches. If the model's waist measurement is 65.4 centimeters, what is that in inches?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To convert centimeters to inches, we use the conversion factor 1 inch = 2.54 centimeters. Therefore, to convert 65.4 centimeters to inches, we divide 65.4 by 2.54. The calculation is 65.4 / 2.54 = 25.74 inches. This is why choice A (25.74) is correct. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not correctly convert centimeters to inches.
Question 3 of 5
You need 4/5 cups of water for a recipe. You accidentally put 1/3 cups into the mixing bowl with the dry ingredients. How much more water in cups do you need to add?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To find out how much more water is needed, subtract the amount already added (1/3 cup) from the total needed (4/5 cup): 4/5 - 1/3 = (12/15) - (5/15) = 7/15 cups. Therefore, the correct answer is A (7/15 cups). Other choices are incorrect because they do not result from the correct calculation. B is more than the total needed, C is the amount already added, and D is less than the amount needed.
Question 4 of 5
Three nurses worked 8-hour shifts. Nurse 1 monitored 6 patients during her shift. Nurse 2 monitored 8 patients, and Nurse 3 monitored 12 patients. How many patients were monitored in total?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To calculate the total number of patients monitored, we add the number of patients each nurse monitored: 6 + 8 + 12 = 26 patients. Therefore, the correct answer is A (26 patients). Nurse 1 monitored 6 patients, Nurse 2 monitored 8 patients, and Nurse 3 monitored 12 patients, totaling 26 patients. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately represent the sum of patients monitored by all three nurses.
Question 5 of 5
In the number 743.25, which digit represents the tenths place?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The tenths place is the first digit to the right of the decimal point. In the number 743.25, the digit 2 is in the tenths place because it is the first digit to the right of the decimal point. Therefore, the correct answer is C. Explanation for why the other choices are incorrect: - A: 3 is in the units place, not the tenths place. - B: 4 is in the tenths place, not the tenths place. - D: 5 is in the hundredths place, not the tenths place.
