HESI A2 Math Practice Test

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To convert military time to regular time, we can drop the first two digits if they are less than 12. 1010 hours can be converted to 10:10 A.M. because it is before noon (12:00 P.M.). Military time operates on a 24-hour clock system, with 0000 hours indicating midnight and 1200 hours representing noon. Therefore, in this case, 1010 corresponds to 10:10 A.M. Choice B (10:10 P.M.) is incorrect as 1010 hours is in the morning, not the evening. Choices C (1:01 A.M.) and D (1:01 P.M.) are incorrect as they do not match the given military time of 1010 hours.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Louise's total spending is $50 + $25 = $75. To find out how much of her winnings she takes home, we need to subtract her total spending from her winnings: $25 - $75 = -$50. Louise actually loses $50 as she spends more than her winnings. Therefore, she doesn't take home any money and would be in debt by $50. The correct answer is $25 - $75 = -$50, indicating that she does not take home any winnings and is in a deficit.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: To convert milliliters to liters, divide the milliliters by 1000 since there are 1000 milliliters in a liter. In this case, 120 milliliters divided by 1000 equals 0.12 liters. Therefore, the correct answer is 0.12 liters. Choice A (1.2 liters) is incorrect as it incorrectly moved the decimal point. Choice B (12 liters) is incorrect as it incorrectly multiplied by 10 instead of dividing by 1000. Choice C (1,200 liters) is incorrect as it added an extra zero, resulting in a much larger value.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To find the perimeter of a rectangle, you add the lengths of all sides. The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is 2 * (length + width). In this case, the length is 15cm and the width is 20cm. Therefore, the perimeter = 2 * (15cm + 20cm) = 65cm. Choice A (30cm), Choice B (55cm), and Choice D (75cm) are incorrect as they do not correctly calculate the perimeter of the given rectangle.
