HESI A2 Math Practice Test 2024 Questions
Question 1 of 5
Sally eats 3/5 of her lunch. John eats 75%. Who ate more?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To compare, convert both to decimals or percentages: Sally ate 3/5, which is 0.6 or 60%. John ate 75%. Since 75% is greater than 60%, John ate more than Sally. Thus, the correct answer is A. John. Choice B is incorrect because Sally ate a smaller percentage of her lunch compared to John. Choice C is incorrect as the percentages consumed are different. Choice D is incorrect as one of them ate more.
Question 2 of 5
How many cakes do you need for a class of 70 students and 3 staff members if each cake provides 24 servings?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To determine the number of cakes needed, calculate the total number of people, which is 70 students + 3 staff = 73 people. Since each cake serves 24 people, divide the total number of people by 24 to get approximately 3.04. You cannot have a fraction of a cake, so round up to the next whole number, which is 4. Therefore, you need 4 cakes to serve the class of 70 students and 3 staff members. Choice B (2) is incorrect because 2 cakes would not be enough to serve 73 people. Choice C (5) is incorrect as it would be an excess of cakes. Choice D (3) is incorrect because 3 cakes would not be sufficient to serve 73 people.

Question 5 of 5
Multiply 4/9 x 1 & 4/5 x 2/5.
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: To multiply fractions, you multiply the numerators together and the denominators together. Calculating 4/9 x 1 & 4/5 x 2/5 gives you (4 x 1) / (9 x 1) & (4 x 2) / (5 x 5) = 4/9 & 8/25. Therefore, the correct answer is 8/25. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not result from the correct multiplication of the fractions provided.
