HESI A2 Math

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: First, calculate Claire's weekly calorie intake: 2,500 calories/day * 7 days = 17,500 calories/week. Since Alice consumes twice as many calories as Claire, she consumes 2 * 17,500 = 35,000 calories per week. Therefore, choice D is correct. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not account for Alice consuming twice as many calories as Claire.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A (240 kilometers). To calculate the distance traveled, we multiply the speed of the train (80 km/h) by the time it travels (3 hours): 80 km/h x 3 hours = 240 kilometers. Therefore, the train will travel 240 kilometers in 3 hours. Choice B (160 kilometers) is incorrect because it does not accurately calculate the distance traveled by the train in 3 hours. Choice C (240 kilometers) is incorrect because it is identical to the correct answer, but the question does not have duplicate options. Choice D (210 kilometers) is incorrect because it is a different calculation result than the correct answer of 240 kilometers.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To find the percentage of remaining members who are male after 4 females leave, we first calculate the remaining total members: 34 - 4 = 30. Since 18 members are male, the percentage of males in the remaining team is (18 / 30) * 100% = 60%. Choice B is correct. Choice A (50%) is incorrect because there are more than 50% males in the remaining team. Choice C (70%) is incorrect as it overestimates the percentage of males after 4 females leave. Choice D (55%) is incorrect because the correct percentage is 60%, not 55%.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To find the rate of calories burned per mile, divide the total calories burned by the total distance covered. In this case, 2,274 calories ÷ 21.6 miles = 105.28 calories per mile (rounded to two decimal places), which matches option A. This calculation is based on the fundamental concept of division, where the total calories are distributed evenly over the total distance. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not match the calculated rate. This question tests basic division skills and understanding of calculating rates.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To find the perimeter of a square, we add up all four sides. Since the garden bed has a side length of 8 meters, each side is 8m. Therefore, the perimeter = 8m + 8m + 8m + 8m = 32m (Choice C). Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not correctly calculate the total length of all four sides of the square.
