HESI A2 Math 2024 Questions

Question 1 of 5

How many feet are in 6 meters?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: To convert meters to feet, you can use the conversion factor: 1 meter = 3.28084 feet. Therefore, for 6 meters: 6 3.28084 = 19.684 feet. Rounding to two decimal places, the answer is 19.68 feet. Choice D, 19.68 feet, is the correct conversion. Choice A, 1.83 feet, is incorrect as it seems to be a miscalculation. Choice B, 18.48 feet, is incorrect as it doesn't match the correct conversion. Choice C, 18.8 feet, is also incorrect as it is not the accurate conversion from 6 meters to feet.

Question 2 of 5

Multiply: 52 04 =

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To multiply 52 by 04, you first multiply the two numbers together: 52 x 4 = 208. Since there are two decimal places in the expression, you need to divide the result by 100, which gives you 0.0208. Therefore, the correct answer is B. Choice A (0.00208) is incorrect because it represents a much smaller value obtained by considering the decimal incorrectly. Choice C (0.208) is incorrect because it does not account for the decimal placement. Choice D (2.08) is incorrect as it does not consider the requirement to convert the result into decimal form.

Question 3 of 5

A plan for a house is drawn on a 1:40 scale. If the length of the living room on the plan measures 5 inches, what is the actual length of the built living room?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Since the scale of the plan is 1:40, this means that 1 inch on the plan represents 40 inches in reality. Therefore, the actual length of the living room can be calculated as 5 inches on the plan multiplied by the scale factor of 40, which equals 200 inches. Converting 200 inches to feet gives us 15 feet as the actual length of the built living room. Choice A (45 feet) is incorrect because it miscalculates the conversion from inches to feet. Choice B (25 feet) is incorrect as it does not consider the scale factor provided. Choice D (12 feet) is incorrect as it does not apply the correct scale factor to convert the plan's measurements to reality.

Question 4 of 5

If a package of 10 pencils is divided between every 2 students in a class with 20 students, how many pencils are needed?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: If 20 students are divided into pairs, there would be 10 pairs in total (20 students / 2 = 10 pairs). Since each pair receives 10 pencils, the total number of pencils needed is calculated by multiplying the number of pairs (10 pairs) by the number of pencils each pair receives (10 pencils per pair), resulting in 100 pencils required. Therefore, the correct answer is 100 pencils. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not consider the correct pairing of students or the total number of pencils needed for each pair.

Question 5 of 5

A recent census of visitors to a popular beach showed that there was a ratio of 6:16 surfers to swimmers. Which of the following is a possible actual number of surfers and swimmers at the beach?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The ratio given is 6:16, which can be simplified to 3:8 by dividing both sides by 2. This means that for every 3 surfers, there are 8 swimmers. To find a possible number of surfers and swimmers that fit this ratio, we can multiply both parts of the ratio by a common factor. Multiplying 3 and 8 by 24 gives us 72 surfers and 210 swimmers, which makes answer choice B the correct option. Choice A, C, and D do not reflect the ratio of surfers to swimmers given in the question.
