HESI A2 Math Practice Exam

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 1,760 yards in a mile. This is because 1 mile is equal to 1,760 yards. To convert miles to yards, you multiply the number of miles by 1,760. The other choices (B, C, D) are incorrect as they do not represent the accurate conversion factor for miles to yards. Option B (1,700) is too low, option C (1,800) is too high, and option D (1,750) is also incorrect. Therefore, the correct answer is A, 1,760 yards in a mile.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To convert pints to ounces, we know that 1 pint equals 16 ounces. Therefore, 3/4 of a pint is equal to 3/4 * 16 = 12 ounces. So, the correct answer is A: 12 ounces. Option B (16 ounces) is the total amount in 1 pint, not 3/4 pint. Option C (14 ounces) and D (10 ounces) are incorrect conversions.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To calculate the percentage increase, subtract the initial price ($9.00) from the final price ($10.00) to get the increase ($1.00). Then, divide the increase by the initial price ($1.00 / $9.00 = 0.1111). Convert the result to a percentage by multiplying by 100, giving 11.11%. Choice B (11.11%) is correct. Choice A (5%) is incorrect because the increase is $1.00, not $0.45. Choice C (20%) and Choice D (25%) are also incorrect as they do not accurately reflect the calculated percentage increase of 11.11%.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B. To determine the total length when the ropes are tied together, we convert the lengths to the same unit: 40 inches = 3.33 ft, 36 inches = 3 ft. Tying them gives 6.33 ft, which is more than the required 6 ft. This means Jeff would have enough rope. Option A is incorrect because it miscalculates the total length. Option C is incorrect as it provides the length in feet only, not considering the decimals. Option D is incorrect as it states he wouldn't have enough rope, which is not true.

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
