Math HESI A2 Practice Test Questions

Question 1 of 5

If a person consumes 500 calories per meal, how many calories will they consume in 3 meals?

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.

Question 2 of 5

What is the result of dividing 5 3/4 by 1/2?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To divide 5 3/4 by 1/2, we convert 5 3/4 to an improper fraction as 23/4. Then, we divide 23/4 by 1/2, which is equivalent to multiplying by the reciprocal of 1/2, which is 2. Therefore, 23/4 * 2 = 46/4 = 11 1/2. The correct answer is A. Other choices are incorrect as they do not result from the correct calculation process.

Question 3 of 5

How many milligrams are in 7 grams?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To convert grams to milligrams, you multiply by 1000 since there are 1000 milligrams in a gram. So, 7 grams x 1000 = 7000 mg. Therefore, the correct answer is A: 7000 mg. Option B (7 mg) is incorrect because it represents the original unit (grams). Option C (700 mg) is incorrect as it is a partial conversion error. Option D (70 mg) is incorrect as it is a multiple of 10 error.

Question 4 of 5

What is 75% of 80?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: To find 75% of 80, you multiply 80 by 0.75 (which represents 75%). 80 * 0.75 = 60. Therefore, the correct answer is D: 60. Choice A (35) is incorrect because it is not 75% of 80. Choice B (45) is also incorrect as it is not the correct calculation for 75% of 80. Choice C (70) is incorrect as well since it does not represent 75% of 80.

Question 5 of 5

What is 50% of 120?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: To find 50% of 120, you multiply 120 by 0.50 (which represents 50%). So, 120 x 0.50 = 60. Therefore, the correct answer is D. Choice A (50) is incorrect because it represents the percentage value, not the result of the calculation. Choice B (50) is a duplicate of Choice A. Choice C (70) is incorrect as it is not the result of finding 50% of 120.
