HESI A2 Quizlet Math Questions

Question 1 of 5

The physician orders 1000 mg of Benadryl liquid; 1 g = 1 tsp. How many teaspoons will you give?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Since 1 gram (g) equals 1000 milligrams (mg) and 1 g = 1 teaspoon (tsp), the prescribed 1000 mg is equal to 1 tsp. Therefore, you will give 1 teaspoon of the Benadryl liquid. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not correspond to the correct conversion of 1 g to 1 tsp, which is essential in solving this dosage calculation.

Question 2 of 5

A rancher has a herd of different-colored horses in his corral. Ten of the horses are black, six are brown, eight are two-color horses, and three are all white. What percentage of the horses are brown? (Round to the nearest whole number if necessary).

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To find the percentage of brown horses, first calculate the total number of horses: 10 black + 6 brown + 8 two-color + 3 all white = 27 horses. Then, calculate the percentage of brown horses: (6 · 27) 100 = 22.22%, which rounds to 20%. Choice B, 20%, is the correct answer. Choice A, 15%, is incorrect as it does not reflect the accurate percentage of brown horses. Choice C, 25%, is incorrect as it overestimates the percentage of brown horses. Choice D, 30%, is incorrect as it also overestimates the percentage of brown horses.

Question 3 of 5

What is the result of multiplying 226 by 55.3?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is 12,541.8. To find this result, you multiply 226 by 55.3, which equals 12,541.8. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not reflect the accurate multiplication of 226 by 55.3.

Question 4 of 5

What is the freezing point of water in degrees Celsius?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is 0°C. The freezing point of water is 0°C under standard conditions. Water freezes at 0°C and boils at 100°C. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not represent the freezing point of water. 100°C is the boiling point of water, 50°C and 25°C are not related to the freezing point of water.

Question 5 of 5

What percentage of 40 is 8?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To find the percentage of 8 in 40, divide 8 by 40 to get 0.2. Multiply this result by 100 to convert it to a percentage: 0.2 100 = 10%. Therefore, 8 is 10% of 40, making choice C the correct answer. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect percentages calculated from incorrect divisions and multiplications.
