HESI A2 Math Questions

Question 1 of 5

A farmer buys 3 bags of feed weighing 50 kilograms each. How much feed does he have in total?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To find the total feed weight, we multiply the weight of one bag by the number of bags. 50 kg x 3 bags = 150 kg. Therefore, the correct answer is B (150 kilograms). Option A (100 kg) is incorrect as it represents the weight of 2 bags only. Option C (200 kg) and Option D (250 kg) are incorrect as they miscalculate the total weight by either adding or multiplying the weights incorrectly.

Question 2 of 5

What is the area of a rectangular room with a length of 12 meters and a width of 10 meters?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To find the area of a rectangle, you multiply its length by its width. In this case, the length is 12 meters and the width is 10 meters. So, Area = Length x Width = 12m x 10m = 120 square meters. Choice A is correct as it correctly calculates the area. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not correctly calculate the area based on the given dimensions.

Question 3 of 5

If Andy runs five times as long as Jake, and Jake runs 24.5 miles each week, how many miles does Andy run in a day?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To find Andy's daily mileage, we first calculate Jake's daily mileage: 24.5 miles / 7 days = 3.5 miles/day. Since Andy runs five times as much, he runs 3.5 * 5 = 17.5 miles/day. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choice B (17.7) is incorrect because it is not the result of the calculation in this scenario. Choice C (16.5) is incorrect as it does not account for Andy running five times as much as Jake. Choice D (18.2) is incorrect because it does not align with the correct calculation based on the information provided.

Question 4 of 5

If an investment earns 5% interest annually, how much interest will it earn in 1 year on a principal of $1,000?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To calculate the interest earned on a principal of $1,000 with a 5% annual interest rate, you multiply the principal by the interest rate: $1,000 x 0.05 = $50. Therefore, the correct answer is B, $50. Choice A is incorrect as it miscalculates the interest. Choice C overestimates the interest earned. Choice D is close, but $55 is not the correct calculation based on the given information.

Question 5 of 5

A nurse works in a neonatal unit where infants' weights are measured in grams. What is the equivalent of 1,500 grams in pounds?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To convert grams to pounds, divide the weight in grams by 453.592 (1 pound is approximately equal to 453.592 grams). Therefore, to convert 1,500 grams to pounds, you would do 1500 / 453.592 = 3.30693393, which rounds down to 3.3 pounds (Answer A). The other choices are incorrect as they do not provide the accurate conversion from grams to pounds. Answer A is the correct choice as it is the result of the precise calculation.
