HESI A2 Math Practice Test Questions

Question 1 of 5

What is the result of dividing 2,032 by 25?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: When dividing 2,032 by 25, you find that 25 goes into 2,032 a total of 81 times without exceeding it. The remainder is 7, not 28 as stated in choice B. This is because 25 * 81 = 2,025, leaving a difference of 7, not 28. Choice A and D are incorrect because they do not correctly represent the division result of 2,032 by 25.

Question 2 of 5

Subtract and simplify: 8� − 1�.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To subtract mixed numbers, convert them to improper fractions. 8� = 33/4 and 1� = 3/2. Subtracting, we get 33/4 - 3/2 = 33/4 - 6/4 = 27/4 = 6�, which simplifies to 4�. Therefore, the correct answer is 4�. Choice B is incorrect as it represents the intermediate step of 6� before simplification. Choice C is incorrect as it is the result of the subtraction but not simplified. Choice D is incorrect as it is the original mixed number 7�, not the simplified result.

Question 3 of 5

Olivia currently earns $51,200 in her job. If her salary increases by 4% this year, what will her new salary be?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: To find Olivia's new salary after a 4% increase, we calculate 4% of $51,200, which is 0.04 x $51,200 = $2,048. Adding this increase to Olivia's current salary gives us the new salary: $51,200 + $2,048 = $53,248. Therefore, Olivia's salary after the 4% increase will be $53,248. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not reflect the correct calculation for the new salary after a 4% increase.

Question 4 of 5

How many kilograms are equivalent to 20 pounds?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To convert pounds to kilograms, you need to multiply the number of pounds by 0.4536. Therefore, to find out how many kilograms are in 20 pounds, you would calculate 20 x 0.4536 = 9.072 kilograms, which is approximately 9 kilograms. Choice A is correct. Choice B (16 kilograms), Choice C (44 kilograms), and Choice D (3 kilograms) are all incorrect conversions of pounds to kilograms.

Question 5 of 5

What is the absolute value of -7?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The absolute value of a number is its distance from zero on the number line, regardless of its sign. In this case, the absolute value of -7 is 7 because it is 7 units away from zero in the negative direction. Therefore, the absolute value of -7 is 7. Choice A (49) is incorrect as it is the square of -7, not the absolute value. Choice B (17) and Choice D (14) are incorrect values and do not represent the absolute value of -7.
