HESI A2 Math Practice Test Questions
Question 1 of 5
A bottle of hand sanitizer contains 70% alcohol. If 5ml of sanitizer are used, how much pure alcohol is present?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Rationale: - If the hand sanitizer contains 70% alcohol, it means that 70% of the 5ml used is pure alcohol. - To find the amount of pure alcohol present, we calculate 70% of 5ml: 0.7 * 5ml = 3.5ml. - Therefore, when 5ml of sanitizer are used, there are 3.5ml of pure alcohol present.
Question 2 of 5
A plan for a barn is drawn on a 1:30 scale. If the width of a barn door on the plan measures 3 inches, what is the actual width of the finished door?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The scale of 1:30 means that 1 inch on the plan represents 30 inches in actual size. If the width of the barn door on the plan is 3 inches, the actual width is calculated by multiplying 3 inches by the scale factor (30), giving 90 inches. To convert inches to feet, divide by 12 (since 12 inches = 1 foot), resulting in 90 inches · 12 = 7.5 feet. Therefore, the correct answer is 10 feet (option B), not 7.5 feet. Option A (90 inches) is the result before converting to feet, option C (9 feet) is the incorrect conversion if the initial calculation was done correctly, and option D (7.5 feet) is the incorrect conversion of the initial calculation.
Question 3 of 5
What is the result of dividing 2,032 by 25?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: When dividing 2,032 by 25, you find that 25 goes into 2,032 a total of 81 times without exceeding it. The remainder is 7, not 28 as stated in choice B. This is because 25 * 81 = 2,025, leaving a difference of 7, not 28. Choice A and D are incorrect because they do not correctly represent the division result of 2,032 by 25.
Question 4 of 5
Rectangle: A picture frame measures 15cm by 20cm. What is its perimeter?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: To find the perimeter of a rectangle, you add the lengths of all sides. The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is 2 * (length + width). In this case, the length is 15cm and the width is 20cm. Therefore, the perimeter = 2 * (15cm + 20cm) = 65cm. Choice A (30cm), Choice B (55cm), and Choice D (75cm) are incorrect as they do not correctly calculate the perimeter of the given rectangle.
Question 5 of 5
Convert this military time to regular time: 1010 hours.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To convert military time to regular time, we can drop the first two digits if they are less than 12. 1010 hours can be converted to 10:10 A.M. because it is before noon (12:00 P.M.). Military time operates on a 24-hour clock system, with 0000 hours indicating midnight and 1200 hours representing noon. Therefore, in this case, 1010 corresponds to 10:10 A.M. Choice B (10:10 P.M.) is incorrect as 1010 hours is in the morning, not the evening. Choices C (1:01 A.M.) and D (1:01 P.M.) are incorrect as they do not match the given military time of 1010 hours.
