Math HESI A2 Practice Test Questions
Question 1 of 5
A syringe holds 3ml of liquid. How many syringes are needed to measure 15ml of liquid?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: To measure 15ml of liquid using a syringe that holds 3ml, you would need to divide 15ml by 3ml to determine the number of syringes needed. 15ml ÷ 3ml = 5 syringes. Therefore, the correct answer is B: 5 syringes. Choice A (3 syringes) is too few, choice C (7 syringes) and choice D (9 syringes) are too many based on the calculation.
Question 2 of 5
If a person consumes 500 calories per meal, how many calories will they consume in 3 meals?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: To find total calories consumed in 3 meals, multiply 500 calories/meal by 3 meals: 500 x 3 = 1500 calories. This is why choice B is correct. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately calculate the total calories consumed in 3 meals. Choice A is half the correct answer, choice C is double, and choice D is the amount of calories in one meal, not for 3 meals.
Question 3 of 5
A marathon runner is training for her next race. On her weekly weekend run she completes 21.4 miles and burns 2276 calories. What is her rate of calories burned per mile?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To find the rate of calories burned per mile, divide the total calories burned (2276) by the total miles ran (21.4). So, 2276 / 21.4 = 106.4. This means the runner burns approximately 106.4 calories per mile. Choice A (106.4) is correct as it represents the correct calculation result. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not match the calculated value based on the given information.
Question 4 of 5
Solve for x: 4x + 2 = 18.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: To solve for x in the equation 4x + 2 = 18, we first isolate x by subtracting 2 from both sides, giving us 4x = 16. Then, we divide both sides by 4 to find x = 4, which is choice B. The correct answer is x = 4 because substituting x = 4 back into the original equation gives 4(4) + 2 = 18, which simplifies to 16 + 2 = 18, confirming that x = 4 is the solution. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not satisfy the original equation when substituted back in.
Question 5 of 5
How many ounces are in 1.5 quarts?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: To convert quarts to ounces, you need to know that 1 quart equals 32 ounces. Therefore, 1.5 quarts would be 1.5 x 32 = 48 ounces. So, the correct answer is C (48 ounces). Choice A is incorrect as it incorrectly converts quarts to ounces. Choice B is half of the correct conversion. Choice D is double the correct conversion.
