HESI A2 Math Practice Test Questions

Question 1 of 5

How many pints are there in 4 quarts?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To convert quarts to pints, we know that 1 quart is equivalent to 2 pints. Therefore, to find out how many pints are in 4 quarts, we multiply 2 pints by 4, which equals 8 pints. Hence, the correct answer is 8 pints. Choice A (2 pints) is incorrect because it represents the conversion of 1 quart, not 4 quarts. Choice C (16 pints) and Choice D (32 pints) are incorrect as they miscalculate the conversion by not considering the correct conversion factor of 2 pints per quart.

Question 2 of 5

Multiply: 54 45. Express the result in decimal form.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: To multiply 54 by 45, you should multiply the two numbers together: 54 x 45 = 2430. The decimal point is placed after counting the total decimal places in the numbers being multiplied. As there are no decimal places in the numbers 54 and 45, the result is 2430, which is correctly expressed as 24.3 when considering the decimal point placement. Choice A (0.0243) and Choice B (0.243) are incorrect as they represent fractions of 2430. Choice C (2.43) is incorrect as it incorrectly places the decimal point one place before the actual result.

Question 3 of 5

If Jolene averages 5 miles for every 30 minutes of biking, how far will she bike in 2 hours?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: If Jolene bikes 5 miles for every 30 minutes, it means she bikes 10 miles in one hour (twice the 30-minute interval). Therefore, in 2 hours, she will cover double the distance she bikes in one hour, which equals 20 miles (10 miles per hour x 2 hours = 20 miles). This makes Choice C, '20 miles,' the correct answer. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not account for the correct doubling of the hourly distance when calculating the total distance biked in 2 hours.

Question 4 of 5

How many digits are in the Hindu-Arabic numeral system?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The Hindu-Arabic numeral system consists of ten digits: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9. These ten digits are used as the fundamental symbols to represent numbers in this numerical system. Choice A, 'Two,' is incorrect as there are more than two digits in the system. Choice C, 'Twelve,' is incorrect as it exceeds the total number of digits in the system. Choice D, 'Twenty,' is incorrect as it overestimates the number of digits present in the Hindu-Arabic numeral system.

Question 5 of 5

A medication dosage is listed as 1/2 teaspoon. What is the equivalent dosage in milliliters (1 teaspoon = 5ml)?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Rationale: Given that 1 teaspoon is equal to 5ml, and the medication dosage is listed as 1/2 teaspoon, we need to find half of 5ml. 1/2 of 5ml = 5ml / 2 = 2.5ml Therefore, the equivalent dosage in milliliters for 1/2 teaspoon is 2.5ml.
