HESI A2 Quizlet Math

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To find the number of people who can swim, multiply the total number of people surveyed by the percentage that can swim. In this case, 120 x 0.85 = 102. Choice B is correct. Choice A is too low as it doesn't account for the 85%. Choice C is too high. Choice D is also too low.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: To calculate the amount of medication delivered in one hour, first find the amount delivered in one minute: 40 drops/min * 0.05 mL/drop = 2 mL/min. Then, multiply by the number of minutes in an hour: 2 mL/min * 60 min = 120 mL. Therefore, the correct answer is D (120 milliliters). Summary: A: Incorrect. Not enough medication delivered. B: Incorrect. Not enough medication delivered. C: Incorrect. Too low of an amount delivered.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To solve the equation 4y - 6 = 14 for y: 1. Add 6 to both sides: 4y = 20 2. Divide by 4 to isolate y: y = 5 Therefore, the correct answer is B. Choice A is incorrect as 4 is not the solution. Choices C and D are also incorrect as they do not satisfy the equation when substituted back in.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To calculate the ideal body weight for a man who is 180cm tall: IBW = 50 + 2.3 * (180 - 150) = 50 + 2.3 * 30 = 50 + 69 = 119kg Therefore, the correct answer is B: 71kg. This is because the calculation results in an ideal body weight of 119kg, which corresponds to option B. The other choices (A, C, D) are incorrect as they do not match the calculated value.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To find X, we can see that 81 is the square of 9 and 27 is the cube of 3. Therefore, X should be the cube root of 81, which is 3. Hence, the correct answer is B. Choice A is incorrect because 3 is the cube root of 27, not 81. Choice C is incorrect as 21 is not a perfect cube of any number. Choice D is incorrect because 9 is the cube itself, not the cube root.
