HESI A2 Math Practice Test 2022 Questions
Question 1 of 5
Convert the following decimal to a percent: 0.0068
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To convert a decimal to a percent, move the decimal point two places to the right. Therefore, 0.0068 as a percentage is 0.68%. Choice A is correct because it represents the correct conversion. Choice B is incorrect as it would be the decimal 6.8 represented as a percentage. Choice C is incorrect as it would be the decimal 0.068 represented as a percentage. Choice D is incorrect as it is the original decimal value.
Question 2 of 5
Which of the following numbers is the largest? (0.667, 0.68, 0.6, 0.0688)
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: To determine the largest number among the given decimals, compare them. 0.68 is the largest number as it is greater than 0.667, 0.6, and 0.0688. The correct answer is 0.68 because it has the highest value. The other options are smaller: 0.667 is less than 0.68, 0.6 is less than 0.68, and 0.0688 is significantly smaller than 0.68.
Question 3 of 5
Your supervisor instructs you to purchase 240 pens and 6 staplers for the nurse's station. Pens are purchased in sets of 6 for $2.35 per pack. Staplers are sold in sets of 2 for $12.95 each. How much will purchasing these products cost?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: To find the total cost, first calculate the cost of pens and staplers separately. 240 pens require 40 packs (240 pens � 6 pens per pack = 40 packs). Each pack of pens costs $2.35, so 40 packs cost $94 (40 packs $2.35 per pack = $94). For the staplers, 6 staplers require 3 packs (6 staplers � 2 staplers per pack = 3 packs). Each pack of staplers costs $12.95, so 3 packs cost $38.85 (3 packs $12.95 per pack = $38.85). Adding the cost of pens and staplers together gives a total of $132.85, which rounds to $132.00. Therefore, the correct answer is $132.00. Choice A is incorrect as it does not consider the individual prices of pens and staplers. Choice C is incorrect as it overestimates the total cost by combining the costs incorrectly. Choice D is incorrect as it underestimates the total cost by not considering both pens and staplers.
Question 4 of 5
Express 0.608 as a percent.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To convert a decimal to a percentage, you move the decimal point two places to the right and add a percentage sign. Therefore, 0.608 as a percent is 60.8%. The correct answer is A. Choice B (68%) is incorrect because it represents the percentage for a different decimal value. Choice C (0%) is incorrect as it represents 0 as a percentage, not 0.608. Choice D (6%) is incorrect as it also represents a different decimal value, not 0.608.
Question 5 of 5
Reduce 5 & 3/4 divided by 1/2.
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: To divide mixed numbers, convert them to improper fractions. 5 & 3/4 = 23/4 and 1/2 = 2/1. So, 23/4 � 2/1 = 23/4 * 1/2 = 23/8 = 2 & 7/8. Therefore, 5 & 3/4 divided by 1/2 reduces to 11 & 1/2. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not represent the correct result of dividing 5 & 3/4 by 1/2.
