HESI A2 Math Practice Questions

Question 1 of 5

How many ounces are in 3 5/8 quarts?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To convert quarts to ounces, we need to know that 1 quart is equal to 32 ounces. To find out how many ounces are in 3 5/8 quarts, we multiply 3 quarts by 32 (96) and add the equivalent of 5/8 of a quart, which is 16 ounces (32 * 5/8 = 16). Adding these together gives us a total of 112 ounces. Therefore, the correct answer is 184 ounces. Choice B (132 oz) is incorrect as it does not account for the additional 16 ounces from the 5/8 of a quart. Choice C (128 oz) is incorrect as it miscalculates the total number of ounces. Choice D (320 oz) is incorrect as it incorrectly multiplies 3.625 by 32, which is not the correct way to convert quarts to ounces.

Question 2 of 5

If the quotient is 4 and the dividend is 12, what is the divisor?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To find the divisor, you need to divide the dividend by the quotient. In this case, the dividend is 12 and the quotient is 4. Dividing 12 by 4 gives you the divisor, which is 3. Therefore, the correct answer is 4. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not result from dividing the dividend by the quotient in this scenario.

Question 3 of 5

If 3 nurses can care for 15 patients, how many nurses are needed for 25 patients?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To determine how many nurses are needed for 25 patients, set up a proportion: 3 nurses / 15 patients = x nurses / 25 patients. Cross multiply to solve for x: 3 * 25 = 15 * x. This simplifies to 75 = 15x. Divide both sides by 15 to find x = 5. Therefore, 5 nurses are needed for 25 patients. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not correspond to the correct calculation based on the given proportion.

Question 4 of 5

What is the probability of rolling a 5 on a six-sided die?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The probability of rolling a specific number on a fair six-sided die is calculated by dividing the number of favorable outcomes (1 in this case, as there is one '5' on the die) by the total number of possible outcomes (6 for a six-sided die), resulting in a probability of 1/6. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately represent the probability of rolling a 5 on a six-sided die. Option B (1/4) is incorrect because it represents the probability of rolling a specific number on a four-sided die. Option C (1/2) and Option D (1/3) are incorrect as they do not match the probability calculation for rolling a 5 on a six-sided die.

Question 5 of 5

How many pounds are in 192 ounces?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To convert ounces to pounds, divide the number of ounces by 16 since there are 16 ounces in a pound. Therefore, 192 ounces · 16 = 12 pounds. Choice A, 16 pounds, is incorrect because it does not represent the correct conversion from ounces to pounds. Choice B, 10 pounds, is incorrect as it is not the result of dividing 192 ounces by 16. Choice D, 16 pounds, is the same as choice A and is incorrect in the context of this conversion.
