Math HESI A2 Practice Test Questions
Question 1 of 5
Solve for x: 2x - 7 = 9.
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: To solve the equation 2x - 7 = 9, first, add 7 to both sides to isolate the variable: 2x = 16. Then, divide by 2 to solve for x: x = 8. Choice A (x = 10) is incorrect because the solution is x = 8, not 10. Choice B (x = 7) is incorrect as it does not correctly solve the equation. Choice D (x = 5) is incorrect as it does not yield the correct solution for x.
Question 2 of 5
What is the result of subtracting 4.7 from 9.5?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct subtraction is 9.5 - 4.7 = 4.8. Therefore, the correct answer is 4.8. Choice B (4.9) is incorrect because 9.5 - 4.7 is not equal to 4.9. Choice C (4.6) is incorrect as it is not the result of subtracting 4.7 from 9.5. Choice D (4.7) is the number being subtracted and not the result of the subtraction.
Question 3 of 5
How many pounds are in 160 ounces?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: 10 pounds. There are 16 ounces in a pound. To convert 160 ounces to pounds, you need to divide 160 by 16, which equals 10 pounds. Choice B, 8 pounds, is incorrect because it does not account for the correct conversion factor. Choice C, 5 pounds, is incorrect as it is not the result of dividing 160 by 16. Choice D, 12 pounds, is incorrect as it overestimates the conversion.
Question 4 of 5
How many milliliters are in 6 liters?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: 6000 milliliters. There are 1,000 milliliters in a liter. To convert liters to milliliters, you multiply the number of liters by 1,000. Therefore, 6 liters = 6 1,000 = 6,000 milliliters. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not correctly convert liters to milliliters.
