HESI A2 Math 2024 Questions
Question 1 of 5
How many liters are there in 2,500 milliliters?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: There are 1,000 milliliters in a liter. To convert 2,500 milliliters to liters, you divide by 1,000: 2,500 milliliters / 1,000 = 2.5 liters. Therefore, choice A, '2.5 liters,' is the correct answer. Choice B, '25 liters,' is incorrect as it would be the result if you mistakenly multiplied instead of dividing. Choice C, '250 liters,' is incorrect as it is 100 times the correct answer. Choice D, '25,000 liters,' is significantly higher and not a conversion error but an order of magnitude error.
Question 2 of 5
Divide: 727 · 6 =
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: When dividing 727 by 6, the quotient is 121 with a remainder of 1. The correct answer is, therefore, 121 r1. Choice A (120 r1) is incorrect as the quotient is 121, not 120. Choice B (120 r3) is also incorrect as the remainder should be 1, not 3. Choice D (127 r3) is incorrect as both the quotient and remainder are different from the correct values obtained by dividing 727 by 6.
Question 3 of 5
Add and simplify: 4â…” + 6½ =
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: To add 4â…” and 6½, we first need to convert the fractions to have the same denominator. Converting 4â…” to 6ths gives us 8/6, and 6½ to 6ths gives us 7/2. Adding them together gives 15/2, which simplifies to 7½ or 9â…™. Therefore, the correct answer is 9â…™. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not represent the correct sum of the fractions after conversion and simplification.
Question 4 of 5
If the outside temperature on a sunny day is 82 degrees on the Fahrenheit scale, what is the approximate temperature on the Celsius scale?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: To convert Fahrenheit to Celsius, you can use the formula:
Question 5 of 5
A patient's temperature is 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit. What is their temperature in degrees Celsius (1°F = 5/9°C)?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To convert Fahrenheit to Celsius, you need to subtract 32 from the Fahrenheit temperature (98.6°F) and then multiply the result by 5/9. Doing this calculation, you get 37°C. Choice B (32°C) is incorrect because it doesn't consider the conversion formula correctly. Choices C (41°C) and D (45°C) are incorrect as they do not apply the conversion formula accurately, leading to incorrect results.
