Practice HESI A2 Math Test

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To find the product of 99 and 0.56, multiply the two numbers: 99 x 0.56 = 55.44. Therefore, the correct answer is 55.44.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To find the sum, you add the numbers 3.7, 7.289, and 4 together. 3.7 + 7.289 + 4 equals 14.989. The correct answer is 14.989 because it includes all decimal places from the sum of the numbers provided. Choice B (5.226) is incorrect as it doesn't account for the sum of the given numbers. Choice C (15.0) is incorrect as it rounds the sum to the nearest whole number, losing the decimal precision. Choice D (5.012) is incorrect as it doesn't reflect the correct sum of the decimal numbers.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To calculate BMI, divide weight (75kg) by height squared (1.65m^2) to get BMI (27.7). A BMI of 27.7 falls within the 'overweight' category (25-29.9 BMI). Choice A is incorrect as a BMI of 23.1 would be in the 'normal' range (18.5-24.9 BMI). Choice B is incorrect as 25.3 falls within the 'overweight' category. Choice D is incorrect as 32.8 is in the 'obese' category (>30 BMI). Therefore, the correct answer is C.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To simplify the fraction 4/6, you can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 2. Dividing 4 by 2 gives 2, and dividing 6 by 2 gives 3. Therefore, the simplest ratio of 4/6 is 2:3. Choice B (4:7) is incorrect because it does not result from simplifying the fraction. Choice C (4:6) is incorrect as it represents the original fraction, not the simplest form. Choice D (3:5) is incorrect as it does not match the simplified ratio of 4/6.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To determine how much money the shopper has left, add the amounts spent: $75.64 + $22.43 = $98.07. Then, subtract the total spent from the starting amount: $100.00 - $98.07 = $1.93 left. Therefore, choice A, $1.93, is the correct answer. Choice B, $5.00, is incorrect because it does not reflect the correct calculation. Choice C, $0.72, is incorrect as it does not consider the total amount spent. Choice D, $20.13, is incorrect because it does not reflect the remaining amount after the expenses.
