Practice questions

Answer each question first, then open “Show answer” to check yourself.

Question 1 · Numbers and algebra

What is 3/4 + 2/3?

  1. 5/7
  2. 5/12
  3. 1 1/12
  4. 1 5/12
Show answer

Correct answer: D. 1 5/12

Use a common denominator of 12: 9/12 + 8/12 = 17/12 = 1 5/12.

Question 2 · Numbers and algebra

A set of scrubs costs $80. It is on sale for 15% off. What is the sale price?

  1. $12
  2. $65
  3. $68
  4. $72
Show answer

Correct answer: C. $68

15% of $80 is $12. $80 − $12 = $68.

Question 3 · Numbers and algebra

Solve for x: 3x − 7 = 2x + 5

  1. x = −12
  2. x = −2
  3. x = 2
  4. x = 12
Show answer

Correct answer: D. x = 12

Subtract 2x from both sides: x − 7 = 5. Add 7: x = 12.

Question 4 · Numbers and algebra

A liquid medication contains 250 mg in every 5 mL. How many mL contain 400 mg?

  1. 2 mL
  2. 6.25 mL
  3. 8 mL
  4. 10 mL
Show answer

Correct answer: C. 8 mL

250 mg / 5 mL = 50 mg per mL. 400 ÷ 50 = 8 mL.

Question 5 · Numbers and algebra

Which of the following is the greatest?

  1. 0.6
  2. 5/8
  3. 62%
  4. 0.59
Show answer

Correct answer: B. 5/8

Convert to decimals: 0.6, 0.625, 0.62, 0.59. The greatest is 5/8 = 0.625.

Question 6 · Measurement and data

An infant weighs 2.5 kg. Using 1 kg ≈ 2.2 lb, about how much does the infant weigh in pounds?

  1. 1.1 lb
  2. 2.2 lb
  3. 4.7 lb
  4. 5.5 lb
Show answer

Correct answer: D. 5.5 lb

2.5 × 2.2 = 5.5 lb.

Question 7 · Measurement and data

What is the mean of the data set 4, 7, 7, 9, 13?

  1. 7
  2. 8
  3. 9
  4. 10
Show answer

Correct answer: B. 8

Sum = 40. 40 ÷ 5 = 8. (7 is the median and mode; 9 is the range.)

Question 8 · Measurement and data

A rectangular rug measures 12 ft by 8 ft. What is its area?

  1. 20 sq ft
  2. 40 sq ft
  3. 96 sq ft
  4. 192 sq ft
Show answer

Correct answer: C. 96 sq ft

Area = length × width = 12 × 8 = 96 square feet. (40 ft is the perimeter.)

Question 9 · Measurement and data

A patient's temperature is 37°C. Using F = (9/5)C + 32, what is the temperature in °F?

  1. 34.6°F
  2. 69.0°F
  3. 98.6°F
  4. 100.4°F
Show answer

Correct answer: C. 98.6°F

(9/5) × 37 = 66.6. 66.6 + 32 = 98.6°F.

Tips for the Math section

  • An on-screen calculator is available, so focus on setting problems up correctly rather than mental arithmetic.
  • Know common conversions: 1 inch = 2.54 cm, 1 kg ≈ 2.2 lb, 1 L = 1,000 mL, and metric prefixes.
  • Write proportions with matching units on top and bottom before you cross-multiply.
  • Check that your answer is reasonable: a dose or a measurement that seems far too large usually means a setup error.
  • You have about 90 seconds per question, the most of any section.
