Practice HESI A2 Math Test Questions
Question 1 of 5
Rewrite the following expression as a decimal: 5/8
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: To convert a fraction to a decimal, divide the numerator by the denominator. In this case, 5 · 8 = 0.625. Therefore, the correct answer is 0.625. Choice A (0.7) is incorrect as it represents 7/10, choice B (0.325) is incorrect as it represents 325/1000, and choice D (5.8) is incorrect as it is not the result of dividing 5 by 8.
Question 2 of 5
Round to the tenths place: What is 6.4% of 32?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: To find 6.4% of 32, first calculate 6.4% as a decimal (0.064) and then multiply it by 32 to get 2.048. When rounding to the tenths place, 2.048 is rounded to 2.1 because the digit after the tenths place is 8, which is equal to or greater than 5. Choice A is incorrect as it does not reflect the accurate calculation. Choices C and D are also incorrect because they do not match the correct result of multiplying 6.4% by 32 and rounding to the tenths place.
Question 3 of 5
Report all decimal places: 3.7 + 7.289 + 4 =
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To find the sum, you add the numbers 3.7, 7.289, and 4 together. 3.7 + 7.289 + 4 equals 14.989. The correct answer is 14.989 because it includes all decimal places from the sum of the numbers provided. Choice B (5.226) is incorrect as it doesn't account for the sum of the given numbers. Choice C (15.0) is incorrect as it rounds the sum to the nearest whole number, losing the decimal precision. Choice D (5.012) is incorrect as it doesn't reflect the correct sum of the decimal numbers.
Question 4 of 5
What is the total perimeter of a playground fence that has a rectangular section (5m by 3m) attached to a semicircular section with a radius of 2m?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: To find the total perimeter, we first calculate the perimeter of the semicircle, which is half of a full circle, so the formula is π * radius. For the semicircle with a radius of 2m, the perimeter is approximately 3.14 * 2m = 6.28m. Next, we calculate the perimeter of the rectangular section by adding twice the length and twice the width (2 * length + 2 * width). For the rectangle with dimensions 5m by 3m, the perimeter is 2 * 5m + 2 * 3m = 10m + 6m = 16m. Finally, we sum the perimeters of the semicircle and the rectangle to get the total perimeter: 6.28m + 16m = 22.28m. Rounding to the nearest meter, the total perimeter is approximately 22m. Therefore, the correct answer is 22m. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not accurately calculate the total perimeter of the playground fence.
Question 5 of 5
After spending $75.64 at one store and $22.43 at the next store, how much money does the shopper have left if they started with $100.00?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To determine how much money the shopper has left, add the amounts spent: $75.64 + $22.43 = $98.07. Then, subtract the total spent from the starting amount: $100.00 - $98.07 = $1.93 left. Therefore, choice A, $1.93, is the correct answer. Choice B, $5.00, is incorrect because it does not reflect the correct calculation. Choice C, $0.72, is incorrect as it does not consider the total amount spent. Choice D, $20.13, is incorrect because it does not reflect the remaining amount after the expenses.
