HESI A2 Math Portion Questions
Question 1 of 5
Olivia's Bakery gives out one extra cupcake for each dozen sold, to make a "baker's dozen" of 13 in all. How many extra cupcakes does the bakery add to a special order of 180 cupcakes?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Olivia's Bakery gives out one extra cupcake for each dozen sold. For a special order of 180 cupcakes, there would be 180 cupcakes · 12 cupcakes per dozen = 15 dozens. Therefore, the bakery adds 15 extra cupcakes to make a 'baker's dozen' of 13 in all for each dozen, resulting in a total of 15 extra cupcakes added to the special order. The correct answer is 13 (choice B) because the bakery adds one extra cupcake to each dozen, making a 'baker's dozen' of 13.
Question 2 of 5
Express 4/5 as a percent.
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: To convert a fraction to a percentage, you multiply the fraction by 100. To express 4/5 as a percent, you perform the calculation 4/5 * 100 = 80%. Therefore, the correct answer is D, 80%. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not represent the correct conversion of 4/5 to a percentage.
Question 3 of 5
If the outside temperature is currently 15 degrees on the Celsius scale, what is the approximate temperature on the Fahrenheit scale?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To convert Celsius to Fahrenheit, you can use the formula: (°C 9/5) + 32 = °F. Substituting 15°C into the formula gives us (15 9/5) + 32 = 59°F. Therefore, the approximate temperature on the Fahrenheit scale for 15 degrees Celsius is 59 degrees Fahrenheit. Choice B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not align with the correct conversion formula and calculation.
Question 4 of 5
A plan for a shed is drawn on a 1:10 scale. If the roof of the real shed measures 4 feet by 5 feet, what were the measurements on the plan?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: When the real shed roof measures 4 feet by 5 feet, on a 1:10 scale plan, the measurements on the plan would be 1/10 of the real measurements. Therefore, the correct answer is 40 inches by 50 inches since it represents 1/10 of 4 feet by 5 feet. Choice A (80 inches by 100 inches) is incorrect because it is equivalent to the real shed measurements, not the scaled plan. Choice C (4.8 inches by 6 inches) is incorrect as it does not reflect the 1:10 scale reduction. Choice D (4 inches by 5 inches) is incorrect because it does not consider the scale factor of 1:10.
Question 5 of 5
In his stamp collection, Bruno has 15 more stamps from Europe than from Africa, and 18 more stamps from Asia than from Africa. If he has 27 stamps from Europe, how many Asian stamps does he have?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Since Bruno has 27 stamps from Europe, which is 15 more than from Africa, he must have 27 - 15 = 12 stamps from Africa. Since he also has 18 more stamps from Asia than from Africa, he must have 12 + 18 = 30 stamps from Asia. Therefore, Bruno has 30 Asian stamps. Choice A (12) is the number of stamps Bruno has from Africa, not Asia. Choices B (22) and D (40) are not derived from the correct calculations based on the given information.
