Math HESI A2 Practice Test Questions
Question 1 of 5
What is 50% of 120?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
Question 2 of 5
A die is rolled. What is the probability of getting a 5?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C (16.60%). When rolling a standard 6-sided die, the probability of getting a 5 is 1/6 or approximately 16.6%. Choice A (50%) is incorrect as it represents the probability of getting a specific number on a coin flip, not a die roll. Choice B (20%) is incorrect as it does not reflect the probability of rolling a 5 on a standard die. Choice D (83.30%) is incorrect as it is the complement of the probability of rolling a 5, which is not asked in the question.
Question 3 of 5
If a runner runs 5 miles in 45 minutes, what is their average speed in miles per hour?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To find the average speed, first, convert 45 minutes to hours (45/60 = 0.75 hours). Then, divide the distance by the time: 5 miles · 0.75 hours = 6.67 mph. Choice A is correct because it accurately calculates the average speed based on the distance covered and time taken. Choice B is incorrect as it does not consider the time taken to cover the distance. Choice C is incorrect as it is higher than the calculated speed. Choice D is incorrect as it is higher and does not match the calculated average speed.
Question 4 of 5
A syringe holds 3ml of liquid. How many syringes are needed to measure 15ml of liquid?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Since each syringe holds 3ml of liquid, to measure 15ml of liquid, you would need to divide 15ml by 3ml/syringe. This calculation gives you 5 syringes needed to measure 15ml of liquid. Choice A (3 syringes) is incorrect because 3 syringes would only hold 9ml of liquid, not 15ml. Choice C (7 syringes) and Choice D (9 syringes) are incorrect as they would result in an excess amount of liquid, which is not needed.
Question 5 of 5
An IV drip delivers 40 drops per minute, each containing 1mg of medication. How many milligrams are administered in 3 hours (180 minutes)?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: In this scenario, to find the total amount of medication administered in 3 hours, we first calculate the total drops administered by multiplying the drops per minute by the total minutes. This gives us 40 drops/minute * 180 minutes = 7200 drops. Then, we convert the drops to milligrams by multiplying the total drops by the amount of medication in each drop, which is 1mg. Therefore, 7200 drops * 1mg/drop = 7200mg. The correct answer is 7,200mg. Choice A is incorrect as it miscalculates the total amount. Choice B is incorrect as it doubles the correct answer. Choice D is incorrect as it quadruples the correct answer.
