HESI A2 Math Practice Test Questions

Question 1 of 5

Multiply: 15 14 = and express the result in decimal form.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: To find the product of 15 and 14, you multiply the two numbers together. 15 multiplied by 14 equals 210. When written in decimal form, it is 2.1. Therefore, the correct answer is 2.1, which corresponds to option D. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they reflect values much smaller than the actual product of 15 and 14, which is 210, equivalent to 2.1 in decimal form.

Question 2 of 5

What is the absolute value of -7?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The absolute value of a number is its distance from zero on the number line, regardless of its sign. In this case, the absolute value of -7 is 7 because it is 7 units away from zero in the negative direction. Therefore, the absolute value of -7 is 7. Choice A (49) is incorrect as it is the square of -7, not the absolute value. Choice B (17) and Choice D (14) are incorrect values and do not represent the absolute value of -7.

Question 3 of 5

How many kilograms are equivalent to 20 pounds?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To convert pounds to kilograms, you need to multiply the number of pounds by 0.4536. Therefore, to find out how many kilograms are in 20 pounds, you would calculate 20 x 0.4536 = 9.072 kilograms, which is approximately 9 kilograms. Choice A is correct. Choice B (16 kilograms), Choice C (44 kilograms), and Choice D (3 kilograms) are all incorrect conversions of pounds to kilograms.

Question 4 of 5

Olivia currently earns $51,200 in her job. If her salary increases by 4% this year, what will her new salary be?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: To find Olivia's new salary after a 4% increase, we calculate 4% of $51,200, which is 0.04 x $51,200 = $2,048. Adding this increase to Olivia's current salary gives us the new salary: $51,200 + $2,048 = $53,248. Therefore, Olivia's salary after the 4% increase will be $53,248. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not reflect the correct calculation for the new salary after a 4% increase.

Question 5 of 5

How many liters are in 120 milliliters?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: To convert milliliters to liters, divide the milliliters by 1000 since there are 1000 milliliters in a liter. In this case, 120 milliliters divided by 1000 equals 0.12 liters. Therefore, the correct answer is 0.12 liters. Choice A (1.2 liters) is incorrect as it incorrectly moved the decimal point. Choice B (12 liters) is incorrect as it incorrectly multiplied by 10 instead of dividing by 1000. Choice C (1,200 liters) is incorrect as it added an extra zero, resulting in a much larger value.
