HESI A2 Quizlet Math Questions
Question 1 of 5
If Mr. Johnson gives half of his pay to his family, $250 to his landlord, and has exactly 3/7 of his pay left over, how much pay does he receive?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Let Mr. Johnson's pay be represented as x. After giving half of his pay to his family, he has x/2 left. Subtracting $250 paid to his landlord, he has x/2 - $250 remaining. Given that this remaining amount is 3/7 of his original pay, the equation becomes x/2 - $250 = 3x/7. Solving this equation shows that x = $3,500. Therefore, Mr. Johnson receives $3,500. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not align with the correct calculation based on the given conditions in the question.
Question 2 of 5
The formula for calculating ideal body weight (IBW) for men is IBW (kg) = 50 + 2.3 * (height in cm - 150). If a man is 180cm tall, what is his ideal body weight?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Rationale: 1. Substitute the given height into the formula for calculating ideal body weight (IBW) for men: IBW (kg) = 50 + 2.3 * (180 - 150) IBW (kg) = 50 + 2.3 * 30 IBW (kg) = 50 + 69 IBW (kg) = 119 2. Therefore, the ideal body weight for a man who is 180cm tall is 119kg. 3. Among the given options, the closest value to 119kg is 71kg (option B). 4. Hence, the correct answer is B) 71kg.
Question 3 of 5
How many feet are in 3 yards?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: To convert yards to feet, you multiply by 3, as 1 yard is equal to 3 feet. Therefore, 3 yards equals 3 x 3 = 9 feet. Choice A (18 feet) is incorrect because it multiplies by 2 instead of 3. Choice C (12 feet) is incorrect as it multiplies by 4 instead of 3. Choice D (27 feet) is incorrect as it multiplies by 9 instead of 3.
Question 4 of 5
Calculate the product of the following decimals: (0.67)(0.09)
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To multiply decimals, align the numbers as whole numbers, multiply as if they were whole numbers, then adjust the decimal point in the final answer. When multiplying 0.67 by 0.09, the result is 0.0603. To get this result, multiply 67 by 9 to get 603, then adjust the decimal point two places to the left in the final product, resulting in 0.0603. Choice B, 0.6, is incorrect because it does not account for the decimal precision in the multiplication. Choice C, 0.603, is incorrect as it has the digits reversed when compared to the correct answer. Choice D, 0.06, is incorrect as it does not reflect the correct product of the two decimals being multiplied.
Question 5 of 5
A rancher has a herd of different-colored horses in his corral. Ten of the horses are black, six are brown, eight are two-color horses, and three are all white. What percentage of the horses are brown? (Round to the nearest whole number if necessary).
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: To find the percentage of brown horses, first calculate the total number of horses: 10 black + 6 brown + 8 two-color + 3 all white = 27 horses. Then, calculate the percentage of brown horses: (6 · 27) 100 = 22.22%, which rounds to 20%. Choice B, 20%, is the correct answer. Choice A, 15%, is incorrect as it does not reflect the accurate percentage of brown horses. Choice C, 25%, is incorrect as it overestimates the percentage of brown horses. Choice D, 30%, is incorrect as it also overestimates the percentage of brown horses.
