HESI A2 Practice Test Math Questions
Question 1 of 5
How many grams of carbohydrates are in a product if it contains 4 servings, and each serving has 8 grams of carbohydrates?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To calculate the total grams of carbohydrates in the product, you multiply the number of servings by the grams of carbohydrates per serving. Given that each serving has 8 grams of carbohydrates and there are 4 servings, the total would be 4 servings * 8 grams = 32 grams. Therefore, the correct answer is A: 32 grams. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not correctly calculate the total grams of carbohydrates based on the information provided.
Question 2 of 5
A patient needs to increase his calcium intake. If each tablet contains 500 mg of calcium and the patient needs to take 1,500 mg per day, how many tablets should the patient take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To calculate the number of tablets needed, divide the total daily calcium intake required (1,500 mg) by the amount of calcium in each tablet (500 mg). 1,500 mg · 500 mg = 3 tablets. Therefore, the patient should take 3 tablets to meet the 1,500 mg daily intake. Choice B, 4 tablets, is incorrect because it would exceed the required 1,500 mg. Choice C, 2 tablets, is insufficient to meet the daily intake. Choice D, 5 tablets, is also incorrect as it would exceed the required amount.
Question 3 of 5
A delivery of medical supplies includes 36 boxes. If each box weighs 2.5 pounds, what is the total weight of the delivery?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To find the total weight of the delivery, you need to multiply the number of boxes (36) by the weight of each box (2.5 pounds). This gives you 36 boxes * 2.5 pounds = 90 pounds, which is the correct answer. Choice B (75 pounds), C (120 pounds), and D (100 pounds) are incorrect because they do not correctly calculate the total weight based on the given information.
Question 4 of 5
A patient needs to take 2 tablets for every 30 pounds of body weight. If they weigh 150 pounds, how many tablets should they take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Rationale: - The patient needs to take 2 tablets for every 30 pounds of body weight. - If the patient weighs 150 pounds, we can calculate the number of tablets needed by dividing the weight by 30 and then multiplying by 2. - 150 pounds / 30 pounds = 5 - 5 x 2 = 10 tablets - Therefore, the patient should take 10 tablets.
