Math HESI A2 Practice Test Questions
Question 1 of 5
How many liters are in 2500 milliliters?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: 2.5 liters. There are 1,000 milliliters in a liter. To convert 2,500 milliliters to liters, you need to divide by 1,000: 2,500 / 1,000 = 2.5 liters. Choice B (1.5 liters) is incorrect because it miscalculates the conversion. Choice C (3.5 liters) is incorrect as it overestimates the conversion. Choice D (0.25 liters) is incorrect as it underestimates the conversion. Therefore, the correct conversion is 2.5 liters.

Question 3 of 5
Subtract 15 3/4 - 8 2/5.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To subtract mixed numbers, find a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator is 20. Convert 15 3/4 to 15 15/20. Then, subtract 15 15/20 - 8 8/20 = 7 7/20. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choice B is incorrect as it does not match the result of the subtraction. Choice C is incorrect as it is not the result of the subtraction. Choice D is incorrect as it represents the second number being subtracted, not the result of the subtraction.
Question 4 of 5
Convert 3/4 to a decimal.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To convert a fraction to a decimal, divide the numerator by the denominator. In this case, 3 divided by 4 is equal to 0.75. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not represent the equivalent decimal value of 3/4. 0.5 is the decimal equivalent of 1/2, 0.65 is the decimal equivalent of 13/20, and 0.85 is the decimal equivalent of 17/20.
Question 5 of 5
How many milliliters are in 3 liters?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: 3000 milliliters. There are 1,000 milliliters in a liter. Therefore, 3 liters = 3 1,000 = 3,000 milliliters. Choice A (300 milliliters) is incorrect as it represents the conversion of 0.3 liters, not 3 liters. Choice C (1500 milliliters) is incorrect as it is halfway between the correct answer and a common mistake of confusing liters with milliliters. Choice D (300 milliliters) is incorrect as it is the conversion of 0.3 liters, not 3 liters.
