HESI A2 Math 2024 Questions
Question 1 of 5
What number is 15, if it is 20% of that number?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: To find the number that 15 is 20% of, we set up the equation: x * 0.20 = 15. Solving for x, we get x = 15 / 0.20 = 75. Therefore, 15 is 20% of 75. Choice A, 3, is too small to be 20% of 15. Choice C, 75, is the result of the correct calculation. Choice D, 300, is too large to be 20% of 15.
Question 2 of 5
Add: 34 + 74 + 37 = ?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To find the sum of the numbers 34 + 74 + 37, add them together: 34 + 74 + 37 = 145. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choice B (155) is incorrect as it results from adding 34 + 74 + 37 incorrectly. Choice C (154) is incorrect as it is the result of adding the first two numbers correctly, but missing the addition of the third number. Choice D (135) is incorrect as it is the result of a calculation error, possibly adding the numbers in a different order.
Question 3 of 5
If the outside temperature is currently 22 degrees on the Celsius scale, what is the approximate temperature on the Fahrenheit scale?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: To convert Celsius to Fahrenheit, you can use the formula: F = (C x 1.8) + 32. Substituting C = 22 into the formula gives: F = (22 x 1.8) + 32 = 39.6 + 32 = 71.6�F. Therefore, the approximate temperature on the Fahrenheit scale when it is 22 degrees Celsius is 71.6�F. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not match the correct conversion result. Choice A, 56�F, is lower than the correct conversion. Choice B, 62�F, is also lower than the correct conversion. Choice C, 66.5�F, is not a whole number and does not match the precise conversion of 71.6�F. Thus, the correct answer is 71.6�F.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse needs to dilute 2 milliliters of a concentrated medication with 8 milliliters of sterile water. What is the final concentration of the solution in percent?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: To find the final concentration, first, calculate the total volume of the solution (2 ml + 8 ml = 10 ml). Then, determine the concentration by dividing the volume of the concentrated medication by the total volume and multiplying by 100%: (2 ml / 10 ml) * 100% = 20%. Therefore, the correct answer is B. Choice A (16.67%) is incorrect as it does not represent the correct calculation. Choices C (25%) and D (50%) are both incorrect as they do not reflect the accurate concentration resulting from the dilution process.
Question 5 of 5
What is 35% of 70?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: To find 35% of a number, you multiply the number by 0.35. In this case, 35% of 70 is calculated as 70 x 0.35 = 24.5. Choice A (17.5) is incorrect because it represents 25% of 70. Choice C (35) is incorrect as it is the percentage itself, not the result of the calculation. Choice D (50) is incorrect as it does not represent the result of finding 35% of 70.
