HESI A2 Math Practice Test 2023

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To convert quarts to ounces, we know that 1 quart is equal to 32 ounces. Therefore, to find out how many ounces are in 4 quarts, we multiply 4 (quarts) by 32 (ounces/quart), which equals 128 ounces. Thus, the correct answer is B: 128 ounces. A: 64 ounces - Incorrect, this is the equivalent of 2 quarts, not 4. C: 32 ounces - Incorrect, this is the equivalent of 1 quart, not 4. D: 16 ounces - Incorrect, this is half the amount of 1 quart, not 4.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To convert kilograms to grams, you need to multiply by 1000 since there are 1000 grams in a kilogram. Therefore, to convert 5 kilograms to grams, you would do: 5 kg x 1000 = 5000 grams. Choice C (5,000 grams) is the correct answer. Choice A (50,000 grams) and choice D (50,000 grams) are incorrect because they do not correctly convert the kilograms to grams. Choice B (500 grams) is incorrect because it represents the grams equivalent of 0.5 kilograms, not 5 kilograms.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To determine the distance traveled by the train, we use the formula Distance = Speed x Time. Given the speed of 65 mph and time of 1.5 hours, we calculate 65 mph x 1.5 hours = 97.5 miles. Therefore, the correct answer is A: 97.5 miles. Option B, 100 miles, is incorrect as it does not match the calculated result. Options C and D, 98 miles and 95 miles, respectively, are also incorrect as they do not align with the calculated distance based on the given speed and time.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: To find 80% of $500, you multiply $500 by 0.80. 0.80 represents 80% in decimal form. So, $500 x 0.80 = $400. Choice D is correct. Choice A is incorrect because $425 is 85% of $500. Choice B is incorrect because $450 is 90% of $500. Choice C is incorrect because $350 is 70% of $500.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To find the volume of a cone, we use the formula V = (1/3)πr^2h. Plugging in the values, V = (1/3)π(5)^2(12) = 100π ≈ 314.16 cu cm. Therefore, the correct answer is C (150 cu cm), as it is the closest option to the calculated volume. Option A is too small, B is slightly larger, and D is too large compared to the actual volume.
