Math HESI A2 Practice Test

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 1/6. There is only one outcome of rolling a 2 on a six-sided die, and there are a total of six possible outcomes (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6). Therefore, the probability of rolling a 2 is 1 out of 6, which simplifies to 1/6. Explanation for why other choices are incorrect: B: 1/4 - This is incorrect because there is only one outcome of rolling a 2, not 2 outcomes out of 6. C: 1/3 - This is incorrect because the probability of rolling a 2 is not 1 out of 3, but 1 out of 6. D: 1/2 - This is incorrect because the probability of rolling a 2 is not 1 out of 2, but 1 out of 6.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: To convert kilograms to grams, we need to multiply by 1000 since there are 1000 grams in a kilogram. So, 8 kilograms x 1000 = 8000 grams. Therefore, the correct answer is D: 8000 grams. Choice A (80000 grams) is incorrect as it incorrectly multiplies by 100 instead of 1000. Choice B (800 grams) is incorrect as it is the result if we ignore the conversion factor. Choice C (80000 grams) is a duplication of choice A.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: To calculate the distance traveled, we use the formula Distance = Speed x Time. Given speed is 70 mph and time is 6 hours, Distance = 70 mph x 6 hours = 420 miles. Therefore, the correct answer is D. Choice A and B are the same, so they are incorrect. Choice C is incorrect as it does not match the calculated distance.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To convert liters to milliliters, you need to know that 1 liter is equal to 1000 milliliters. Therefore, to find how many milliliters are in 3 liters, you would multiply 3 by 1000, which equals 3000 milliliters. So, the correct answer is B: 3000 milliliters. A is incorrect because it is the result of multiplying 3 by 100, not 1000. C is incorrect because it is half of 3000, not the actual conversion. D is incorrect as it is one-tenth of the correct answer.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To convert quarts to ounces, you need to know that 1 quart equals 32 ounces. Therefore, 1.5 quarts would be 1.5 x 32 = 48 ounces. So, the correct answer is C (48 ounces). Choice A is incorrect as it incorrectly converts quarts to ounces. Choice B is half of the correct conversion. Choice D is double the correct conversion.
