HESI A2 Math Practice Test 2023 Questions
Question 1 of 5
A man is reading a book with 798 pages. If he reads 2 chapters a day and each chapter has 6 pages, how many days will it take him to finish the book?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: To find the total number of pages in the book, we multiply the number of chapters by the number of pages per chapter: 2 chapters/day * 6 pages/chapter = 12 pages/day. To finish 798 pages, we divide 798 pages by 12 pages/day, giving 66.5 days. Therefore, the correct answer is C: 66.5 days. Choice A (133 days) is incorrect because it assumes the man reads 1 chapter per day instead of 2. Choice B (399 days) is incorrect as it overestimates the number of days needed by assuming the man reads only 1 page per day. Choice D (75 days) is incorrect because it underestimates the time needed by assuming the man reads 3 chapters per day instead of 2.
Question 2 of 5
How many milliliters are in 5 pints of water?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To convert pints to milliliters, we need to know that 1 pint = 473.176 milliliters. Therefore, 5 pints would be 5 x 473.176 = 2365.88 milliliters. Rounding up, we get approximately 2400 milliliters. This is why choice A (2400 milliliters) is correct. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately convert pints to milliliters based on the conversion factor provided.
Question 3 of 5
Add 2\3 + 1\6 + 2\5.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To add fractions, we need a common denominator, which for 3, 6, and 5 is 30. So, we rewrite the fractions with a denominator of 30: 20/30 + 5/30 + 12/30 = 37/30. Simplifying 37/30 as 1 & 7/30 gives us the correct answer, choice A. The other choices are incorrect because they do not reflect the accurate sum of the fractions. Choice B is incorrect as it simplifies to 1 & 1/15, not 1 & 7/30. Choice C simplifies to 2/5, which is not the sum of the given fractions. Choice D simplifies to 3/4, which is also not the sum of the fractions provided.
Question 4 of 5
What is the volume of a birthday party hat with a cone-shaped top having a radius of 5cm and a height of 12cm?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: To find the volume of a cone, we use the formula V = (1/3)πr^2h. Plugging in the values, V = (1/3)π(5)^2(12) = 100π ≈ 314.16 cu cm. Therefore, the correct answer is C (150 cu cm), as it is the closest option to the calculated volume. Option A is too small, B is slightly larger, and D is too large compared to the actual volume.
Question 5 of 5
Convert 0.25 to a fraction.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To convert 0.25 to a fraction, recognize that 0.25 is equivalent to 25/100, which simplifies to 1/4 when both the numerator and denominator are divided by their greatest common factor, which is 25. Therefore, the correct answer is A: 1/4. Choice B (1/3) and Choice C (1/2) are incorrect because they do not equal 0.25. Choice D (3/4) is incorrect as it is the reverse of the correct answer.
