HESI A2 Math Practice Test 2024 Questions
Question 1 of 5
How many cakes do you need for a class of 70 students and 3 staff members if each cake provides 24 servings?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To determine the number of cakes needed, calculate the total number of people, which is 70 students + 3 staff = 73 people. Since each cake serves 24 people, divide the total number of people by 24 to get approximately 3.04. You cannot have a fraction of a cake, so round up to the next whole number, which is 4. Therefore, you need 4 cakes to serve the class of 70 students and 3 staff members. Choice B (2) is incorrect because 2 cakes would not be enough to serve 73 people. Choice C (5) is incorrect as it would be an excess of cakes. Choice D (3) is incorrect because 3 cakes would not be sufficient to serve 73 people.
Question 2 of 5

Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
Question 3 of 5
Multiply 4/9 x 1 & 4/5 x 2/5.
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: To multiply fractions, you multiply the numerators together and the denominators together. Calculating 4/9 x 1 & 4/5 x 2/5 gives you (4 x 1) / (9 x 1) & (4 x 2) / (5 x 5) = 4/9 & 8/25. Therefore, the correct answer is 8/25. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not result from the correct multiplication of the fractions provided.
Question 4 of 5
A man is reading. He reads two chapters a day. How long will it take if there are 6 pages per chapter and 798 pages total?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: First, calculate how many pages the man reads per day. Since he reads two chapters a day and each chapter has 6 pages: 2 chapters/day 6 pages/chapter = 12 pages/day Now, divide the total number of pages by the number of pages he reads per day: 798 pages · 12 pages/day = 66 1/2 days Thus, it will take him 66 & 1/2 days to finish the book. Therefore, the correct answer is A. 66 & 1/2. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not correspond to the correct calculation based on the given information.
Question 5 of 5
Convert 2100 to standard time.
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Military time is based on a 24-hour clock. To convert 2100 hours to standard time, subtract 1200 from the time if it is greater than or equal to 1300. In this case, 2100 - 1200 = 900, which corresponds to 9:00 PM in standard time. Choice A, 12:00 PM, is incorrect because 2100 is in the evening, not noon. Choice B, 2:00 AM, is incorrect as it represents the early morning hours. Choice D, 2:00 PM, is incorrect as it is in the afternoon, not the evening.
