HESI A2 Math Practice Test 2023 Questions
Question 1 of 5
A newborn weighs 3,459 grams. There are 453.59 grams per pound. What is the infant's weight in pounds and ounces?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To find the weight in pounds, divide the weight in grams by the conversion factor (453.59 grams per pound). 3,459 grams · 453.59 = approximately 7 lbs 10 oz. Therefore, choice A (7 lbs 10 oz) is the correct answer. Choice B (10 lbs 7 oz) and Choice C (13 lbs 3 oz) are incorrect as they do not correspond to the correct conversion. Choice D (3 lbs 13 oz) is incorrect as it does not account for the additional pounds derived from dividing 3,459 grams by the conversion factor.
Question 2 of 5
How many inches are in 1.5 yards?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To convert yards to inches, you multiply the number of yards by 36 (since there are 36 inches in a yard). So, 1.5 yards 36 inches/yard = 54 inches. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choice B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not correctly convert yards to inches.
Question 3 of 5
Convert 9/10 to a decimal.
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: To convert 9/10 to a decimal, divide 9 by 10: 9 · 10 = 0.9. The correct answer is 0.9. Choice A (0.7) is incorrect as 7/10 is equal to 0.7. Choice B (0.8) is incorrect as 8/10 is equal to 0.8. Choice D (1) is incorrect as 10/10 would be equal to 1.
Question 4 of 5
Subtract 14.5 - 7.25.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B. When you subtract 7.25 from 14.5, you get 7.25. The difference between 14.5 and 7.25 is 7.25. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect. Choice A (7.15) is the result of incorrectly subtracting 14.5 - 7.25. Choice C repeats choice A, so it is also wrong. Choice D (7.5) is not the correct result of the subtraction provided in the question.
Question 5 of 5
Convert 0.25 to a fraction.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To convert a decimal to a fraction, place the decimal value over the place value of the last digit. In this case, 0.25 can be written as 25/100. Simplifying this fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 25 gives 1/4. Therefore, 0.25 expressed as a fraction is 1/4. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they represent different fractional values that do not correspond to 0.25.
