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, multiply the number of yards by 36 (since there are 36 inches in a yard). 1.5 yards 36 inches/yard = 54 inches. Therefore, the correct answer is 54 inches. Choice B, 60 inches, is incorrect as it incorrectly assumes that there are 40 inches in a yard. Choice C, 72 inches, is incorrect as it multiplies 1.5 by 48, which is not the correct conversion factor. Choice D, 84 inches, is incorrect as it multiplies 1.5 by 56, which is not the correct conversion factor.
Question 2 of 9
Solve for x: 4x - 8 = 16.
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
Question 3 of 9
Simplify the expression: -5 + (-8)
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: When adding two negative numbers, you add their absolute values and keep the negative sign. In this case, -5 + (-8) is equal to -13 because the absolute values of 5 and 8 add up to 13, and the negative sign is retained. Choice B (8) is incorrect because adding two negative numbers results in a negative sum. Choice C (13) is incorrect as it doesn't consider the negative signs of the numbers being added. Choice D (-5) is incorrect because it does not account for the addition of the two negative numbers.
Question 4 of 9
Which of the following fractions is the largest? 3/8, 3/9, 3/6, 3/7
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To determine the largest fraction, it's helpful to convert them to decimals for easier comparison. Converting the fractions to decimals gives: 3/8 = 0.375, 3/9 = 0.333, 3/6 = 0.5, and 3/7 ≈ 0.429. Therefore, 3/7 is the largest fraction among the given options. Choice B, 3/6, is actually equivalent to 3/6 = 0.5 which is greater than 3/7. Choices C and D are smaller fractions compared to 3/7, making them incorrect.
Question 5 of 9
Change 0.004 to a ratio.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
Question 6 of 9
What is the probability of getting a 1 on a six-sided die?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
Question 7 of 9
Subtract 20.7 - 13.4.
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
Question 8 of 9
How many milliliters are in 5 pints of water?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: 2400 milliliters. Since 1 pint is equivalent to 480 milliliters, to find out how many milliliters are in 5 pints, you multiply 480 by 5, which equals 2400 milliliters. Choice B (4800 milliliters) is incorrect because it multiplies 480 by 10 instead of 5. Choice C (2000 milliliters) is incorrect as it incorrectly equates 1 pint to 400 milliliters. Choice D (3600 milliliters) is incorrect as it miscalculates the conversion of pints to milliliters.
Question 9 of 9
A female ran a 24-mile course. Her first 6 miles took 1 hour, the second set of 6 miles took 1.2 hours, the third set of 6 miles took 1.5 hours, and the fourth set of 6 miles took 1.6 hours. How long did it take her to complete the course?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To find the total time taken, add the time for each segment: 1 hour + 1.2 hours + 1.5 hours + 1.6 hours = 5.3 hours. Therefore, it took her 5.3 hours to complete the course. The other choices are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the cumulative time calculated based on the given information.
