Math HESI A2 Practice Test Questions
Question 1 of 5

Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
Question 2 of 5
What is the result of dividing 5 3/4 by 1/2?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: When dividing fractions, you multiply by the reciprocal of the divisor. To divide 5 3/4 by 1/2, you multiply 5 3/4 by 2/1 (reciprocal of 1/2) to get 23/4 * 2/1 = 46/4 = 11 1/2. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choice B (2 & 3/8) is incorrect as it does not result from dividing 5 3/4 by 1/2. Choice C (3 & 1/8) is incorrect as well. Choice D (18) is not the correct result of the division performed.
Question 3 of 5
Change 0.26 to a fraction.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: To convert a decimal to a fraction, the decimal is written without the decimal point as the numerator. For 0.26, this gives 26. The denominator is based on the place value of the decimal, which is the number of decimal places the decimal has. In this case, 0.26 has two decimal places, so the fraction is 26/100, which simplifies to 13/50. Choice A (7/8) is incorrect as it does not represent 0.26. Choice C (26/100) is also incorrect because it is not in its simplest form. Choice D (1/3) is incorrect as it is not the correct equivalent fraction for 0.26.
Question 4 of 5
Subtract 12 - 7 4\5.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
Question 5 of 5
Convert 1/5 to a decimal.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: To convert a fraction to a decimal, divide the numerator by the denominator. In this case, 1 · 5 = 0.2. Therefore, the correct answer is B. Choice A (0.5) is incorrect because the decimal form of 1/5 is not 0.5. Choice C (1.5) is incorrect as it is the sum of 1 and 0.5, not the decimal form of 1/5. Choice D (0.15) is incorrect as it is the decimal form of 15/100, not 1/5.
