HESI A2 Math Practice Questions

Question 1 of 5

If there are 128 ounces in 1 gallon, how many ounces are in 2.5 gallons?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To find the total number of ounces in 2.5 gallons, multiply the number of gallons by the number of ounces per gallon: 2.5 gallons 128 ounces/gallon = 320 ounces. The correct answer is 320 ounces. Choice C (400 ounces) is incorrect because multiplying 2.5 by 128 gives 320, not 400. Choice D (250 ounces) is also incorrect as it seems to be a miscalculation.

Question 2 of 5

Express 0.025 as a ratio.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To convert 0.025 to a ratio, we can express it as 25:1000 and simplify it by dividing both terms by 25, resulting in 1:40. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choice B (4:1) and C (400:1) do not represent the correct ratio for 0.025. Choice D (26:40:00) is incorrect as it does not follow the standard ratio format of two numbers separated by a colon.

Question 3 of 5

How many grams are in 7 kilograms?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To convert kilograms to grams, you need to multiply by 1,000 since there are 1,000 grams in a kilogram. Therefore, 7 kilograms is equal to 7 x 1,000 = 7,000 grams. The correct answer is 7000 grams. Choice B (70 grams) is incorrect as it represents the conversion of 7 kilograms to grams without considering the correct multiplier. Choice C (700 grams) is incorrect as it is a tenth of the correct conversion. Choice D (70,000 grams) is incorrect as it is ten times the correct conversion.

Question 4 of 5

How many pounds are in 176 ounces?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: To convert ounces to pounds, you divide the number of ounces by 16 since there are 16 ounces in a pound. Therefore, 176 ounces · 16 = 11 pounds. Choice A is incorrect because it miscalculates the conversion. Choices B and C are also incorrect as they do not accurately convert the given ounces to pounds.

Question 5 of 5

Repeating decimals can be expressed as fractions. Which of the following represents the decimal 0.7777... as a fraction?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: To express the repeating decimal 0.7777... as a fraction, let x = 0.7777... Multiplying both sides by 10 to shift the decimal point to the right gives: 10x = 7.7777... Subtracting the original equation from the new equation eliminates the repeating decimal: 10x - x = 7.7777... - 0.7777... 9x = 7 x = 7/9. Therefore, the decimal 0.7777... can be expressed as the fraction 7/9. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not accurately represent the decimal 0.7777... when converted to a fraction.
