HESI A2 Math Practice Test Questions
Question 1 of 5
A medication dosage is listed as 1/2 teaspoon. What is the equivalent dosage in milliliters (1 teaspoon = 5ml)?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
Question 2 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 3 of 5
A decorative globe has a diameter of 25cm. What is its total surface area?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: To find the total surface area of a sphere, you can use the formula: 4 * π * (radius)^2, where the radius is half the diameter. Given that the diameter is 25cm, the radius is half of that, which is 12.5cm. Substitute this value into the formula: 4 * π * (12.5cm)^2 ≈ 1963 sq cm. Therefore, the total surface area of the decorative globe is approximately 1963 sq cm. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not correspond to the correct calculation.
Question 4 of 5
What is the volume of water needed to fill a rectangular swimming pool with dimensions 10 meters by 5 meters and a depth of 2 meters?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: To find the volume of the rectangular swimming pool, you need to multiply the length by the width by the depth. Volume = Length x Width x Depth. Therefore, Volume = 10m x 5m x 2m = 100 cubic meters. This means it takes 100 cubic meters of water to fill the pool. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not correctly calculate the volume based on the provided dimensions.
Question 5 of 5
What is the absolute value of -7?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The absolute value of a number is its distance from zero on the number line, regardless of its sign. In this case, the absolute value of -7 is 7 because it is 7 units away from zero in the negative direction. Therefore, the absolute value of -7 is 7. Choice A (49) is incorrect as it is the square of -7, not the absolute value. Choice B (17) and Choice D (14) are incorrect values and do not represent the absolute value of -7.
