HESI A2 Math Practice Test 2023

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To subtract 32 divided by 8\9, first divide 32 by 8 to get 4. Then divide 4 by 9, which equals 4\9. Subtracting 4\9 from 32 gives 36, which is the correct answer (A). Choice B (32) is incorrect as it only divides 32 by 8, not considering the second division by 9. Choices C (40) and D (44) are incorrect as they do not follow the correct division and subtraction steps.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To convert pints to milliliters, we need to know that 1 pint = 473.176 milliliters. Therefore, 5 pints would be 5 x 473.176 = 2365.88 milliliters. Rounding up, we get approximately 2400 milliliters. This is why choice A (2400 milliliters) is correct. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately convert pints to milliliters based on the conversion factor provided.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To calculate the distance traveled, we use the formula Distance = Speed x Time. Given speed is 60 mph and time is 5 hours, we get Distance = 60 mph x 5 hours = 300 miles. Therefore, the correct answer is C. Option A is incorrect as it miscalculates the product of 60 x 5. Option B is incorrect as it is a lower value. Option D is a duplicate of option A and is also incorrect.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To convert 0.25 to a fraction, recognize that 0.25 is equivalent to 25/100, which simplifies to 1/4 when both the numerator and denominator are divided by their greatest common factor, which is 25. Therefore, the correct answer is A: 1/4. Choice B (1/3) and Choice C (1/2) are incorrect because they do not equal 0.25. Choice D (3/4) is incorrect as it is the reverse of the correct answer.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To convert kilograms to grams, you need to multiply by 1000 since there are 1000 grams in a kilogram. Therefore, to convert 5 kilograms to grams, you would do: 5 kg x 1000 = 5000 grams. Choice C (5,000 grams) is the correct answer. Choice A (50,000 grams) and choice D (50,000 grams) are incorrect because they do not correctly convert the kilograms to grams. Choice B (500 grams) is incorrect because it represents the grams equivalent of 0.5 kilograms, not 5 kilograms.
