Math HESI A2 Practice Test Questions
Question 1 of 5
A marathon runner is training for her next race. On her weekly weekend run she completes 21.4 miles and burns 2276 calories. What is her rate of calories burned per mile?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To calculate the rate of calories burned per mile, divide the total calories burned by the total miles run: 2276 · 21.4 ≈ 106.4 calories per mile. The correct answer is A. Choice B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not match the correct calculation result. Therefore, they can be eliminated. It is essential to divide the total calories burned by the total miles run to determine the rate of calories burned per mile accurately.
Question 2 of 5
A teacher's aide is preparing a snack for the class. In order to prepare the powdered drink, the aide must convert the directions to metric. The directions say, 'Dilute contents of package in 3 quarts of water.' The aide has a measuring device marked in liters. How many liters of water should be used?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: 3 quarts is approximately 2.8 liters. To convert quarts to liters, multiply the number of quarts by 0.946353. Therefore, the correct answer is 2.8 liters. Choice A (3.0 liters) is incorrect as it does not accurately convert 3 quarts to liters. Choice C (2.5 liters) is incorrect as it is less than the correct conversion. Choice D (3.5 liters) is incorrect as it is more than the correct conversion.
Question 3 of 5
A train leaves the station at 1:45 PM traveling at a constant speed of 65 mph. If it arrives at its destination at 3:15 PM, how many miles did it travel?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To calculate the distance traveled by the train, multiply the speed (65 mph) by the time it took to reach the destination, which is 1.5 hours (3:15 PM - 1:45 PM = 1.5 hours). Therefore, 65 mph 1.5 hours = 97.5 miles. This calculation is correct because distance = speed time. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not reflect the correct calculation based on the given information.
Question 4 of 5
Change 0.26 to a fraction.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: To convert a decimal to a fraction, the decimal is written without the decimal point as the numerator. For 0.26, this gives 26. The denominator is based on the place value of the decimal, which is the number of decimal places the decimal has. In this case, 0.26 has two decimal places, so the fraction is 26/100, which simplifies to 13/50. Choice A (7/8) is incorrect as it does not represent 0.26. Choice C (26/100) is also incorrect because it is not in its simplest form. Choice D (1/3) is incorrect as it is not the correct equivalent fraction for 0.26.
Question 5 of 5
What is the result of subtracting 4.7 from 9.5?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct subtraction is 9.5 - 4.7 = 4.8. Therefore, the correct answer is 4.8. Choice B (4.9) is incorrect because 9.5 - 4.7 is not equal to 4.9. Choice C (4.6) is incorrect as it is not the result of subtracting 4.7 from 9.5. Choice D (4.7) is the number being subtracted and not the result of the subtraction.
