HESI A2 Math Practice Test 2023 Questions
Question 1 of 9
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 2 of 9
What is the result of dividing 4 7/8 by 1 1/6?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To divide mixed numbers, convert them to improper fractions and then multiply by the reciprocal of the divisor. Here, 4 7/8 = 39/8 and 1 1/6 = 7/6. Dividing 39/8 by 7/6 gives 39/8 · 7/6 = 39/8 * 6/7 = 234/56 = 4 5/28. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not represent the correct result of dividing 4 7/8 by 1 1/6.
Question 3 of 9
What is the result of adding 7/8 + 9/10 + 6/5?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To add fractions, you need to find a common denominator. The common denominator for 8, 10, and 5 is 40. Then, convert each fraction: 7/8 = 35/40, 9/10 = 36/40, and 6/5 = 24/40. Now, add the fractions: 35/40 + 36/40 + 24/40 = 95/40, which simplifies to 2 15/40 or 2 3/8. Therefore, 7/8 + 9/10 + 6/5 = 3 & 39/40. Choice B is incorrect because it does not represent the correct addition of the fractions. Choice C is incorrect as it does not account for the whole number part. Choice D is incorrect as it is not the sum of the fractions and whole numbers.
Question 4 of 9
Convert 7 grams to milligrams.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: To convert grams to milligrams, you need to multiply by 1,000 since there are 1,000 milligrams in a gram. Therefore, 7 grams x 1,000 = 7,000 mg. Choice A (700 mg) is incorrect as it represents 700 grams, not milligrams. Choice C (70 mg) is incorrect as it implies that 7 grams is equivalent to 70 milligrams, which is inaccurate. Choice D (0.007 mg) is also incorrect since it represents a fraction of a milligram, significantly less than the original 7 grams.
Question 5 of 9
What is 70% of 200?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: To find 70% of a number, you multiply the number by 0.70. Therefore, 70% of 200 is calculated as 0.7 200 = 140. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not represent the correct calculation for finding 70% of 200.
Question 6 of 9
A rectangular bandage measures 5cm by 8cm. What is the area covered by the bandage?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Rationale: To find the area of a rectangle, you multiply the length by the width. In this case, the length of the bandage is 8cm and the width is 5cm. Area = length x width Area = 8cm x 5cm Area = 40cm^2 Therefore, the area covered by the bandage is 40cm^2.
Question 7 of 9
What is 25% of 200?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To find 25% of a number, you multiply the number by 0.25. So, to calculate 25% of 200, you do 0.25 200 = 50. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choice B (60) is incorrect as it is the result of calculating 30% of 200. Choice C (25) is incorrect as it represents 12.5% of 200. Choice D (30) is incorrect as it is the result of calculating 15% of 200.
Question 8 of 9
Add 2\3 + 1\6 + 2\5.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To add fractions, find a common denominator (30), which gives 20/30 + 5/30 + 12/30=37/30= 1 7/30
Question 9 of 9
What is 80% of $500?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: To find 80% of $500, you multiply 0.8 by 500. Therefore, 0.8 x 500 = $400. This means that option D, $400, is the correct answer. Option A, $425, is incorrect because it is higher than the calculated value. Option B, $450, is also higher than the correct answer. Option C, $350, is lower than the calculated value. Hence, the correct answer is D, $400.
