HESI A2 Math Practice Test 2023 Questions
Question 1 of 5
What is the result of dividing 4 7/8 by 1 1/6?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To divide mixed numbers, convert them to improper fractions and then multiply by the reciprocal of the divisor. Here, 4 7/8 = 39/8 and 1 1/6 = 7/6. Dividing 39/8 by 7/6 gives 39/8 · 7/6 = 39/8 * 6/7 = 234/56 = 4 5/28. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not represent the correct result of dividing 4 7/8 by 1 1/6.

Question 3 of 5
Solve for x: 120:x::40:0.5.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To solve the proportion 120:x::40:0.5, cross-multiply to get 120 * 0.5 = 40 * x. This simplifies to 60 = 40x. Dividing both sides by 40 gives x = 1.5. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choice B (60) is incorrect because x is not equal to 60. Choice C (0.167) is incorrect as it does not result from solving the proportion. Choice D (16) is also incorrect because x is not equal to 16.
Question 4 of 5
What is the result of adding 7/8 + 9/10 + 6/5?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To add fractions, you need to find a common denominator. The common denominator for 8, 10, and 5 is 40. Then, convert each fraction: 7/8 = 35/40, 9/10 = 36/40, and 6/5 = 24/40. Now, add the fractions: 35/40 + 36/40 + 24/40 = 95/40, which simplifies to 2 15/40 or 2 3/8. Therefore, 7/8 + 9/10 + 6/5 = 3 & 39/40. Choice B is incorrect because it does not represent the correct addition of the fractions. Choice C is incorrect as it does not account for the whole number part. Choice D is incorrect as it is not the sum of the fractions and whole numbers.
