Math HESI A2 Practice Test

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To convert kilometers to meters, we need to multiply the number of kilometers by 1000 since there are 1000 meters in 1 kilometer. So, 2 kilometers x 1000 meters/kilometer = 2000 meters. Therefore, the correct answer is C: 2000 meters. Choice A (100 meters) is incorrect as it does not account for the conversion factor of 1000 meters in 1 kilometer. Choice B (200 meters) is incorrect for the same reason. Choice D (3000 meters) is incorrect as it goes beyond the actual conversion calculation.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: 16.60%. The probability of rolling a 5 on a fair six-sided die is 1/6, as there are 6 possible outcomes (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6) and only 1 favorable outcome (rolling a 5). To calculate the probability, you divide the number of favorable outcomes by the total number of outcomes, which is 1/6 = 0.1667 or 16.67%. Therefore, the closest choice is C: 16.60%. Explanation for other choices: A: 50% - Incorrect. This suggests that rolling a 5 is equally likely as not rolling a 5, which is not true for a fair six-sided die. B: 20% - Incorrect. This implies that rolling a 5 is 1 out of 5 possible outcomes, which is not the case for a standard six-sided die. D: 83

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.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: To convert Celsius to Fahrenheit, you use the formula: Fahrenheit = (Celsius x 1.8) + 32. Given the patient's temperature is 38.5 degrees Celsius, Fahrenheit = (38.5 x 1.8) + 32 = 104.9 degrees Fahrenheit (Option D). Options A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not match the correct conversion using the formula.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: To calculate the distance traveled, we use the formula Distance = Speed x Time. Given speed is 70 mph and time is 6 hours, Distance = 70 mph x 6 hours = 420 miles. Therefore, the correct answer is D. Choice A and B are the same, so they are incorrect. Choice C is incorrect as it does not match the calculated distance.
