HESI A2 Practice Test Math Questions

Question 1 of 5

An office manager makes photocopies for the entire staff each day. At the end of the week, she finds that the photocopy machine has made a total of 3,475 copies. If 6 people used the copier and each person made the same number of copies, how many copies did each person make?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To find out how many copies each person made, divide the total number of copies made (3,475) by the number of people who used the copier (6). This gives 579 copies per person (3,475 · 6 = 579). Therefore, each person made 579 copies. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not result from the correct division of the total number of copies by the number of people who used the copier.

Question 2 of 5

Change the following percentage to a decimal: 58%

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To convert a percentage to a decimal, move the decimal point two places to the left. Therefore, 58% as a decimal is 0.58. Choice B, 5, is incorrect as it does not represent the conversion of a percentage to a decimal. Choices C and D, both 0, are also incorrect as they do not reflect the correct conversion of 58% to a decimal.

Question 3 of 5

A stop sign has five equal sides, each measuring 25cm. What is its perimeter?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Rationale: - Since a stop sign has five equal sides, each measuring 25cm, the perimeter can be calculated by adding up the lengths of all five sides. - Perimeter = 25cm + 25cm + 25cm + 25cm + 25cm = 125cm - Therefore, the perimeter of the stop sign is 125cm.

Question 4 of 5

If x = -2 and m = -3, evaluate: xm - 2m

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Substitute x = -2 and m = -3 into the expression: (-2) * (-3) - 2 * (-3) = 6 + 6 = 12. Therefore, the correct answer is 12. The mistake in the other choices lies in the calculation. Choice B, 6, is the result of adding the two terms instead of subtracting the second term from the first. Choice C, 8, and Choice D, 10, are also incorrect as they do not follow the correct calculation process.

Question 5 of 5

Convert the decimal 0.98 to a percent.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To convert a decimal to a percent, you multiply the decimal by 100. In this case, 0.98 100 = 98%. Therefore, the correct answer is A, which is 98%. Choice B (9%) is incorrect as it results from an error in calculation. Choice C (98) is incorrect as it lacks the percent symbol. Choice D (99%) is incorrect as it is not the equivalent percentage of 0.98.
