HESI A2 Practice Test Math Questions
Question 1 of 5
A nurse working at the hospital earns $22 per hour. She worked two 12-hour shifts and two 8-hour shifts during the week. How much did she earn for the week?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The nurse worked a total of 40 hours (2 x 12 hours + 2 x 8 hours) during the week. Multiplying 40 hours by her hourly rate of $22 gives a total earning of $960 for the week. Therefore, the correct answer is $960. Choice B ($1,080) is incorrect because it miscalculates the earnings by adding extra hours. Choice C ($990) is incorrect as it does not account for the correct number of hours worked. Choice D ($880) is incorrect as it underestimates the total earnings by not considering all hours worked.
Question 2 of 5
A delivery of medical supplies includes 36 boxes. If each box weighs 2.5 pounds, what is the total weight of the delivery?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To find the total weight of the delivery, you need to multiply the number of boxes (36) by the weight of each box (2.5 pounds). This gives you 36 boxes * 2.5 pounds = 90 pounds, which is the correct answer. Choice B (75 pounds), C (120 pounds), and D (100 pounds) are incorrect because they do not correctly calculate the total weight based on the given information.
Question 3 of 5
A patient needs to take 2 tablets for every 30 pounds of body weight. If they weigh 150 pounds, how many tablets should they take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Rationale: - The patient needs to take 2 tablets for every 30 pounds of body weight. - If the patient weighs 150 pounds, we can calculate the number of tablets needed by dividing the weight by 30 and then multiplying by 2. - 150 pounds / 30 pounds = 5 - 5 x 2 = 10 tablets - Therefore, the patient should take 10 tablets.
