HESI A2 Math Practice Test 2023 Questions
Question 1 of 9
How many ounces are in 2.5 gallons?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: To convert gallons to ounces, we need to know that 1 gallon is equal to 128 ounces. Therefore, 2.5 gallons would be 2.5 x 128 = 320 ounces. This makes choice C, '320 ounces,' the correct answer. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not correctly calculate the conversion from gallons to ounces.
Question 2 of 9
How many liters are in 300 milliliters?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: 300 milliliters is equivalent to 0.3 liters. To convert milliliters to liters, you need to move the decimal three places to the left. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choice B (3 liters) is incorrect as it represents the conversion of 3000 milliliters. Choice C (0.03 liters) is incorrect as it represents the conversion of 30 milliliters. Choice D (3.3 liters) is also incorrect as it is not the correct conversion of 300 milliliters.
Question 3 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 4 of 9
Convert 0.25 to a fraction.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To convert a decimal to a fraction, place the decimal value over the place value of the last digit. In this case, 0.25 can be written as 25/100. Simplifying this fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 25 gives 1/4. Therefore, 0.25 expressed as a fraction is 1/4. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they represent different fractional values that do not correspond to 0.25.
Question 5 of 9
A train takes 1.5 hours at a constant speed of 65 mph to arrive at the destination. How many miles did the train travel?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To calculate the distance traveled, multiply the speed by the time taken: 65 mph 1.5 hours = 97.5 miles. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choice B (100 miles) is incorrect as it results from rounding up, which is not necessary. Choice C (98 miles) and Choice D (95 miles) are incorrect as they do not reflect the correct calculation based on the given speed and time.
Question 6 of 9
A car travels 240 miles in 4 hours. What is its speed in miles per hour?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: To calculate speed, divide the distance traveled by the time taken: 240 miles · 4 hours = 60 mph. Therefore, the correct answer is B. Choice A (50 mph) is incorrect as it results from an incorrect calculation. Choice C (55 mph) and D (75 mph) are also incorrect because they are not the correct result of dividing 240 miles by 4 hours.
Question 7 of 9
A rectangular bandage measures 5cm by 8cm. What is the area covered by the bandage?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
Question 8 of 9
Change 0.004 to a ratio.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
Question 9 of 9
How many meters are in 3000 millimeters?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: 1 meter is equal to 1000 millimeters. Therefore, to convert 3000 millimeters to meters, we divide by 1000. 3000 millimeters / 1000 = 3 meters. Choice A, '3 meters,' is the correct answer. Choice B, '30 meters,' is incorrect because it represents a miscalculation of multiplying instead of dividing. Choice C, '0.3 meters,' is incorrect as it is the result of a decimal error. Choice D, '300 meters,' is incorrect as it is a result of not converting millimeters to meters correctly.
