HESI A2 Math Practice Test 2024

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To find the perimeter of the kite, we add up all the sides. Top base = 20cm Bottom base = 30cm Two equal side lengths = 15cm each Perimeter = 20 + 30 + 15 + 15 = 80cm Therefore, the correct answer is C (70cm). Choice A (55cm) is incorrect as it does not consider all the sides of the kite. Choice B (65cm) is incorrect as it does not account for the top and bottom bases. Choice D (80cm) is incorrect as it miscalculates the perimeter by not adding the side lengths correctly.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To solve 7 1/8 + 2 4/12, first convert 2 4/12 to an improper fraction: 2 4/12 = 2 + 1/3 = 2 1/3 = 7/3. Now, add 7 1/8 and 7/3 by finding a common denominator, which is 24. 7 1/8 = 57/8. Add 57/8 and 7/3 to get 183/24. Simplify 183/24 to 9 11/24, which is the correct answer (A). Choices B, C, D are incorrect as they do not match the calculated result.

Top base = 20cm Bottom base = 30cm Two equal side lengths = 15cm each Perimeter = 20 + 30 + 15 + 15 = 80cm Therefore, the correct answer is C (70cm).

Choice D (80cm) is incorrect as it miscalculates the perimeter by not adding the side lengths correctly.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To convert milligrams to grams, divide by 1000 since 1 gram = 1000 milligrams. 150 milligrams ÷ 1000 = 0.15 grams. Therefore, the correct answer is B. Explanation for other choices: A: 0.015 grams = Incorrect, a decimal point is missing. C: 1.5 grams = Incorrect, this would be the result if the milligrams were converted to grams as if they were micrograms. D: 15 grams = Incorrect, this would be the result if the milligrams were mistakenly multiplied by 100 instead of divided by 1000.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: 9:00 PM. To convert 2100 to standard time, subtract 12 hours from 2100 since military time is based on a 24-hour clock. 2100 - 1200 = 900, which translates to 9:00 PM. Choice A (12:00 PM) is incorrect as it would be noon, not evening. Choice B (2:00 AM) is incorrect as it represents the early morning. Choice D (2:00 PM) is incorrect as it is in the afternoon, not evening.
