HESI A2 Quizlet Math

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 32,000 ounces in a ton. There are 16 ounces in a pound, and 2,000 pounds in a ton. Therefore, to find the number of ounces in a ton, you multiply 16 (ounces per pound) by 2,000 (pounds in a ton), resulting in 32,000 ounces. Choice B (30,000 ounces) is incorrect because it does not account for the correct conversion factor between pounds and ounces in a ton. Choice C (35,000 ounces) and Choice D (40,000 ounces) are also incorrect as they similarly do not follow the correct conversion logic.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To convert yards to feet, we know that 1 yard is equal to 3 feet. Therefore, to find out how many feet are in 3 yards, we multiply 3 (yards) by 3 (feet per yard), which equals 9 feet. So, the correct answer is B: 9 feet. A: 18 feet - Incorrect, as it doubles the correct answer. C: 12 feet - Incorrect, as it is derived from multiplying 3 yards by 4 feet instead of 3 feet. D: 27 feet - Incorrect, as it multiplies 3 yards by 9 feet, which is incorrect conversion.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To solve this problem, we first find the total number of players on the team by setting up a proportion: 4 players represent 5%, so 1% is equal to 0.8 players. Thus, the total number of players is 4 divided by 0.05, which equals 80 players. Since 4 players have long hair, there are 80 - 4 = 76 players with short hair. The correct answer is C. Option A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not align with the calculated total number of players on the team.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To find the percentage of income left after spending 15%, you subtract 15% from 100% (total income percentage). So, 100% - 15% = 85% left. Therefore, choice B (85%) is correct. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not accurately represent the remaining percentage of income after spending.
