HESI A2 Practice Test Math Questions
Question 1 of 5
Solve for x: 3(x - 4) = 18.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To solve the equation, begin by distributing the 3 on the left side: 3x - 12 = 18. Next, add 12 to both sides to isolate x: 3x = 30. Finally, divide by 3 to determine the value of x: x = 10. Therefore, the correct answer is x = 10. Choice B, x = 12, is incorrect as the correct value of x is 10, not 12. Choice C, x = 5, is incorrect as it does not satisfy the equation after substitution. Choice D, x = 3, is incorrect as it does not fulfill the equation when substituted back.
Question 2 of 5
There are 225 pieces of candy in a large jar. Ben wants to give the 25 campers in his group an equal amount of candy. How many pieces of candy will each camper receive?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To determine how many pieces of candy each camper will receive, divide the total number of pieces of candy (225) by the number of campers (25): 225 · 25 = 9 pieces per camper. Therefore, each camper will receive 9 pieces of candy to ensure they all get an equal amount. Choice B, 7 pieces, is incorrect because the total number of candy pieces divided equally among 25 campers results in 9 pieces per camper, not 7. Choice C, 8 pieces, and choice D, 6 pieces, are also incorrect as they do not accurately reflect the division of 225 pieces of candy among 25 campers.

Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
Question 5 of 5
What is the result of adding 1/2 + 4/5?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To add fractions, you need a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator is 10. So, 1/2 + 4/5 = 5/10 + 8/10 = 13/10 = 1 3/10. Therefore, the correct answer is A: 1 3/10. Choice B, 1/2/2024, is incorrect as it does not represent the sum of the fractions given. Choice C, 1 2/5, is incorrect as it does not match the sum calculated. Choice D, 1 1/5, is incorrect as it does not reflect the correct sum of the fractions provided.
