HESI A2 Practice Test Math Questions

Question 1 of 5

What is the result of adding 5 2/9 and 1 2/9?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To add 5 2/9 and 1 2/9, first add the whole numbers: 5 + 1 = 6. Then add the fractions: 2/9 + 2/9 = 4/9. Combine the whole number and the fraction to get 6 4/9, which is the correct answer (A). Other choices are incorrect because they either do not consider adding the fractions (D), or incorrectly add only the whole numbers (C), or miscalculate the fractions (B).

Question 2 of 5

Which of the following is equivalent to 0.0009?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: 0.09%. To convert 0.0009 to a percentage, you move the decimal point two places to the right, resulting in 0.09%. Option A (0.009%) is incorrect as it would be the equivalent of 0.00009. Option B (0.9%) is incorrect as it represents 0.009. Option D (9%) is incorrect as it is equivalent to 0.09, which is 100 times greater than the given value.

Question 3 of 5

Solve: 2 - 8(24 � 2).

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale after 5 retries.

Question 4 of 5

How many ounces are in 8 & 1/4 pints?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To convert pints to ounces, we know that 1 pint is equal to 16 ounces. Therefore, to find the number of ounces in 8 & 1/4 pints, we multiply 8 by 16 (128 oz) and add 1/4 of 16 (4 oz). This gives us a total of 132 ounces (128 + 4). Therefore, the correct answer is C (132 oz). Option A is incorrect as it is the result of miscalculating the conversion. Option B and D are incorrect as they do not account for the additional 1/4 pint.

Question 5 of 5

Given 15:x=3:8, find x.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To find x, we need to set up a proportion: 15/x = 3/8. Cross multiply to get 15*8 = 3*x. Solving for x gives x=40. Choice A is correct because it correctly solves the proportion. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not yield the correct value of x when solving the proportion.
