HESI A2 Math Practice Test Questions

Question 1 of 5

What number is 80 125% of?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To find the number that 80 is 125% of, we can set up the equation: x = 80 / 1.25. Solving this equation gives x = 64. Therefore, 80 is 125% of 64. Choice A (48) is incorrect because it is not the correct value that 80 is 125% of. Choice C (68) is incorrect as it is not the value that satisfies the given percentage relationship. Choice D (78) is incorrect as it does not match the calculation result.

Question 2 of 5

If the regular price of a bar is $2.50, how much do you save per bar if you purchase a value pack of 8 bars for $20?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To determine how much you save per bar when buying a value pack of 8 bars for $20, calculate the individual price per bar by dividing the total price by the number of bars: $20 · 8 = $2.50 per bar. When the pack price is lower than the individual price, you save money. The saving per bar is found by subtracting the pack price from the individual price: $2.50 (individual price) - $2.50 (pack price) = $0.40. Therefore, you save 40 cents per bar by purchasing the value pack. Choice A, 15¢, is incorrect because the actual saving is $0.40. Choice C, 75¢, is incorrect as it doesn't match the calculated saving. Choice D, $1.20, is incorrect as it is not the actual amount saved per bar.

Question 3 of 5

If Jolene averages 5 miles for every 30 minutes of biking, how far will she bike in 2 hours?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: If Jolene bikes 5 miles for every 30 minutes, it means she bikes 10 miles in one hour (twice the 30-minute interval). Therefore, in 2 hours, she will cover double the distance she bikes in one hour, which equals 20 miles (10 miles per hour x 2 hours = 20 miles). This makes Choice C, '20 miles,' the correct answer. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not account for the correct doubling of the hourly distance when calculating the total distance biked in 2 hours.

Question 4 of 5

A scientific illustrator uses a scale of 3:1 for drawings of insects. If the length of a cicada in the drawing is 6 centimeters, how long is the actual cicada in real life?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The scale of 3:1 means that for every 3 centimeters in the drawing, it represents 1 centimeter in real life. If the length of the cicada in the drawing is 6 centimeters, in real life, it would be 6 x 3 = 18 centimeters long. Therefore, the actual length of the cicada in real life is 18 centimeters. Choice B, 6.3 centimeters, is incorrect because it does not account for the scale factor. Choices C and D, 4.6 centimeters and 4.2 centimeters respectively, are also incorrect as they do not consider the 3:1 scale used in the drawing.

Question 5 of 5

Rectangle: A picture frame measures 15cm by 20cm. What is its perimeter?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To find the perimeter of a rectangle, you add the lengths of all sides. The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is 2 * (length + width). In this case, the length is 15cm and the width is 20cm. Therefore, the perimeter = 2 * (15cm + 20cm) = 65cm. Choice A (30cm), Choice B (55cm), and Choice D (75cm) are incorrect as they do not correctly calculate the perimeter of the given rectangle.
