HESI A2 Practice Test Math Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which of these percentages equals 1.25?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: To convert 1.25 to a percentage, multiply by 100. Therefore, 1.25 equals 125%. The correct answer is D because 125% is the percentage that represents 1.25. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect. A (1250%) is 10 times greater than the correct answer, B (25%) is 100 times smaller, and C (50%) is 2 times smaller than the correct percentage equivalent of 1.25.
Question 2 of 5
How many gallons are in 576 fluid ounces?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To convert fluid ounces to gallons, you need to know that there are 128 fluid ounces in a gallon. To find how many gallons are in 576 fluid ounces, divide 576 by 128, which equals 4.5 gallons. Since we are looking for the closest whole number, the answer is 4 gallons. Choice A is correct. Choice B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not accurately represent the conversion from fluid ounces to gallons.
Question 3 of 5
Convert 26°C to Fahrenheit.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To convert Celsius to Fahrenheit, the formula F = (9/5)C + 32 is used. Substituting 26°C into the formula: F = (9/5)(26) + 32 = 78.8°F, which rounds to 78°F. Therefore, the correct answer is 78°F. Choice B (72°F), Choice C (80°F), and Choice D (85°F) are incorrect as they do not result from the correct conversion calculation.
Question 4 of 5
How many liters are in 300 milliliters?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: To convert milliliters to liters, you need to divide by 1000 since there are 1000 milliliters in 1 liter. Therefore, 300 milliliters · 1000 = 0.3 liters. Choice A, 0.03 liters, is the result of dividing by 10 instead of 1000. Choice B, 3 liters, is the result of multiplying instead of dividing. Choice D, 0.003 liters, is the result of dividing by 1000 twice, which is incorrect.
Question 5 of 5
7:5=91:x. Find x.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To solve the proportion 7:5=91:x, cross multiply to get 7x = 5 * 91. Then, solve for x by dividing both sides by 7, which gives x = 65. Therefore, the correct answer is x=65. Choice B, x=55, is incorrect because it does not satisfy the proportion equation. Choices C and D, x=75 and x=85, are also incorrect as they do not match the calculated value of x when the proportion is solved.
