HESI A2 Math Questions
Question 1 of 5
A marathon runner completes 21.4 miles and burns 2276 calories. What is her rate of calories burned per mile?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: To find the rate of calories burned per mile, divide the total calories burned by the total miles run. In this case, 2276 calories · 21.4 miles = 106.4 calories per mile. Therefore, the correct answer is B. Choice A (106.3) is incorrect because it is slightly lower than the calculated value. Choice C (106.355) is incorrect as it is a more precise value than the calculation result. Choice D (106.36) is also incorrect as it is a more precise value than the calculated answer.
Question 2 of 5
If x=11, solve (x+44)/2x.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Given x=11, substitute into the expression: (11 + 44) / (2*11) = 55 / 22 = 2.5. Therefore, the correct answer is 2.5. Choice A (33) is incorrect as it does not represent the correct calculation. Choice C (13) is incorrect as it is not the result of the expression. Choice D (55/22) is incorrect as it is the same as the simplified form of the expression, not the answer to the calculation.
Question 3 of 5
What is the greatest common factor (GCF) of 12 and 18?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The greatest common factor (GCF) of two numbers is the largest number that divides both numbers without leaving a remainder. To find the GCF of 12 and 18, we factorize each number: 12 = 2 x 2 x 3 and 18 = 2 x 3 x 3. The common factors are 2 and 3. The GCF is the product of these common factors, which is 6. Therefore, 6 is the greatest common factor of 12 and 18. Choice A (2) and Choice B (3) are factors of both numbers but not the greatest common factor. Choice D (9) is not a factor of both 12 and 18, making it incorrect.
Question 4 of 5
If Andy runs five times as long as Jake, and Jake runs 24.5 miles each week, how many miles does Andy run in a day?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To find how many miles Andy runs in a day, we need to calculate the distance Andy runs in a week. Since Andy runs five times as long as Jake, Andy runs 5 * 24.5 = 122.5 miles per week. To convert this to miles per day, we divide by 7 (days in a week): 122.5 / 7 = 17.5 miles per day. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not accurately reflect the calculation based on the given ratio.
Question 5 of 5
In a bowling team consisting of 34 members, with 18 being male, if 4 females leave the team, what percent of the remaining members are male?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: After 4 females leave the team, there are 30 members remaining. Out of these, 18 are male. To find the percentage of male members, divide the number of male members (18) by the total number of remaining members (30) and multiply by 100. Percentage of male members = (18/30) * 100 = 60%. Therefore, 60% of the remaining members are male. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not reflect the accurate calculation based on the information provided in the question.
