HESI A2 Math 2024 Questions
Question 1 of 5
Multiply: 5.04 2 =
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: To multiply 5.04 by 2, you simply multiply the two numbers together: 5.04 x 2 = 10.08. Therefore, the correct answer is B. Choice A (1.008) is incorrect as it represents the result of dividing 5.04 by 5 instead of multiplying. Choice C (10.8) is incorrect as it is the result of rounding 10.08 to the nearest whole number. Choice D (18) is incorrect as it results from adding 5.04 and 2 instead of multiplying.
Question 2 of 5
You need to repaint a cylindrical water tank with a diameter of 2 meters and a height of 3 meters. Assuming one can of paint covers 10 sq m, how many cans do you need to cover only the exterior surface?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: To find the surface area of the cylinder, calculate the lateral surface area using the formula 2?rh, where r is the radius (half of the diameter) and h is the height. Substituting the values, we get 2 * ? * 1 * 3 = 6? square meters. Since each can covers 10 sq m, divide the total surface area by the coverage area per can: 6? / 10 ≈ 1.9 cans. Since you can't buy a fraction of a can, you would need to round up, so you would need 2 cans to cover the entire exterior surface. Therefore, you would need 2 * 6 = 12 cans in total. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not consider the correct surface area calculation or the rounding up to the nearest whole number of cans required.
Question 3 of 5
Express the ratio of 25:80 as a percentage.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To express the ratio 25:80 as a percentage, follow these steps: First, divide 25 by 80: 25/80 = 0.3125. Then, multiply by 100 to convert to a percentage: 0.3125 100 = 31.25%. Therefore, the ratio 25:80 is equivalent to 31.25%. Choice A is correct. Choice B (34%) is incorrect because it does not accurately represent the ratio 25:80. Choice C (41.25%) and Choice D (43.75%) are also incorrect as they do not match the calculated percentage for the given ratio.
Question 4 of 5
If a package of 10 pencils is divided between every 2 students in a class with 20 students, how many pencils are needed?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: If 20 students are divided into pairs, there would be 10 pairs in total (20 students / 2 = 10 pairs). Since each pair receives 10 pencils, the total number of pencils needed is calculated by multiplying the number of pairs (10 pairs) by the number of pencils each pair receives (10 pencils per pair), resulting in 100 pencils required. Therefore, the correct answer is 100 pencils. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not consider the correct pairing of students or the total number of pencils needed for each pair.
Question 5 of 5
Sergeant Kellogg had his men line up at 3:40 P.M. What would that be in military time?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: In military time, the 24-hour clock is used. 3:40 P.M. in standard time would be 1540 in military time. To convert from standard time to military time, you keep the hour number the same for afternoon and evening hours but add 12 to afternoon hours. Choice A (340) is incorrect as it doesn't follow the military time format. Choice B (3040) is incorrect as military time uses a maximum of four digits. Choice C (1500) is incorrect as it represents 3:00 P.M. in military time, not 3:40 P.M.
