HESI A2 Math Practice Exam

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To convert meters to millimeters, we know that 1 meter is equal to 1000 millimeters. Therefore, to find how many millimeters are in 5 meters, we multiply 5 by 1000 which equals 5000 millimeters. Choice A (5000 mm) is correct. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not accurately convert 5 meters to millimeters. Choice B (4000 mm) is incorrect because it underestimates the conversion. Choice C (5500 mm) is incorrect as it overestimates the conversion. Choice D (6000 mm) is also incorrect as it overestimates the conversion.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: $19.60. To calculate profit, we subtract the distribution cost from the total revenue. If the distribution cost is $10, and profit is the remainder, then profit = total revenue - distribution cost. Let's denote total revenue as TR. Therefore, profit = TR - $10. Since the distribution cost is $10, the profit will be TR - $10. To find TR, we add the distribution cost to the profit: TR = profit + $10. If we substitute $10 for the distribution cost and $19.60 for profit, we get TR = $19.60 + $10 = $29.60. This means that the correct answer for the profit will be $19.60. Summary: A: $10.40 - Incorrect. This choice is lower than the distribution cost, so it cannot be the profit. C: $14.90 - Incorrect. This choice is also lower than the distribution cost, ruling

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To find the number of days to use 500 labels, first calculate the total labels used daily: 25 boxes/day * 3 labels/box = 75 labels/day. Then, divide the total labels (500) by labels used per day (75): 500 / 75 = 6.67 days. Since we need to round to the nearest whole number, it will take 7 days (Answer A) to use up the inventory. Choice B is incorrect as it doesn't account for rounding. Choice C is incorrect as it overestimates the number of days. Choice D is incorrect as it underestimates the number of days.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To make yellow balls 65% of total, they need to be 65 out of every 100 balls. Let the number of yellow balls be Y. Total balls = Y + X. So, Y/(Y+X) = 65/100. Solving, Y = 13X. To make yellow balls 65%, the ratio of yellow to total should be 13:20. So, 13/(13+20) = 13/33 = 39.4%, which means 60.6% are non-yellow balls. To increase yellow balls to 65%, we need to make non-yellow balls 35%. Therefore, 35% of total balls should be non-yellow. This means 35% of total balls should be non-yellow. Hence, the correct answer is 50 (option B). Other choices are incorrect as they do not align with the logic of maintaining the 65% yellow ball ratio.
