HESI A2 Practice Test Math Questions

Question 1 of 5

What is the result of adding 1/2 + 4/5?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To add 1/2 + 4/5, we need a common denominator, which is 10 in this case. 1/2 becomes 5/10 and 4/5 remains as 4/5. Adding them gives 9/10. Converting 9/10 to a mixed number, we get 1 3/10, which is choice A. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not correctly represent the sum of the fractions.

Question 2 of 5

An office manager makes photocopies for the entire staff each day. At the end of the week, she finds that the photocopy machine has made a total of 3,475 copies. If 6 people used the copier and each person made the same number of copies, how many copies did each person make?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 579 copies. To find the number of copies each person made, divide the total number of copies (3,475) by the number of people who used the copier (6). 3,475 ÷ 6 = 579. Each person made 579 copies. Summary: - Choice B (680 copies) is incorrect because it does not evenly divide into the total number of copies. - Choice C (670 copies) is incorrect because it is not an even division of the total number of copies. - Choice D (585 copies) is incorrect because it is not the result of dividing the total number of copies by the number of people who used the copier.

Question 3 of 5

Convert the decimal 0.98 to a percent.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To convert a decimal to a percent, you multiply by 100. In this case, 0.98 * 100 = 98%. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choice B is incorrect as it represents 9%, not 0.98%. Choice C is incorrect as it is the decimal form itself, not the percentage. Choice D is incorrect as it represents 99%, not 0.98%.

Question 4 of 5

Stewart has 56 acres of land. He wants to divide the land into plots of 0.25 acres. How many plots of land will Stewart have after he divides the 56 acres?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To find the number of plots, divide the total land by the size of each plot: 56 acres ÷ 0.25 acres/plot = 224 plots (Option A). This is correct as it follows the basic concept of division. Option B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not result from the correct division calculation.

Question 5 of 5

7:5=91:x. Find x.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To find x, first, find the ratio between the two parts of the equation: 7/5 = 91/x. Cross multiply to solve for x: 7x = 455. Divide by 7 to get x = 65 (Choice A). Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not match the calculated value of x.
