HESI A2 Math Practice Questions

Question 1 of 5

Multiply: 3/4 1/3.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators together and the denominators together. In this case, 3/4 1/3 = (3 1) / (4 3) = 3/12 = 1/4. Therefore, the correct answer is A: 1/4. Choices B (1/3), C (3/5), and D (3/8) are incorrect because they do not result from the correct multiplication of the given fractions.

Question 2 of 5

Solve: 8x = x^2.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To solve the equation 8x = x^2, rearrange it to x^2 - 8x = 0. Factor out an x to get x(x - 8) = 0. Set each factor to zero to find the solutions: x = 0 or x = 8. Therefore, x = 16 is the correct answer because x = 0 is not in the answer choices, and x = 8 is a distraction meant to confuse. Thus, choice C, 16, is the correct solution to the equation.

Question 3 of 5

Solve for y if y = 3: 4y + 21 / y.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To solve for y, substitute y = 3 into the equation: 4(3) + 21 / 3 = 12 + 7 = 19. Therefore, the correct answer is 19. Choice A (7.7) is incorrect as it does not result from the substitution. Choice C (23/3) is incorrect as it does not match the calculated value. Choice D (11) is incorrect, as it is not the result of the provided equation.

Question 4 of 5

How many inches are in 3.5 yards?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To convert yards to inches, we use the conversion factor that 1 yard is equal to 36 inches. Therefore, 3.5 yards is equal to 3.5 multiplied by 36, which equals 126 inches. The correct answer is 126 inches. Choices B (144 inches), C (132 inches), and D (120 inches) are incorrect because they do not correctly calculate the conversion from yards to inches using the conversion factor of 1 yard equals 36 inches.

Question 5 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.
