HESI A2 Practice Test Math

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

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To add fractions, you need a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator is 10. So, 1/2 + 4/5 = 5/10 + 8/10 = 13/10 = 1 3/10. Therefore, the correct answer is A: 1 3/10. Choice B, 1/2/2024, is incorrect as it does not represent the sum of the fractions given. Choice C, 1 2/5, is incorrect as it does not match the sum calculated. Choice D, 1 1/5, is incorrect as it does not reflect the correct sum of the fractions provided.

2. Solve for y if y = 3: 4y + 21/y

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To solve the expression 4y + 21/y when y = 3, substitute y = 3: 4 * 3 + 21 / 3 = 12 + 7 = 19. Therefore, the correct answer is 19. Choice A, '19,' is the correct result of the expression when y = 3. Choice B, '7.7,' is incorrect as the correct answer is an integer, not a decimal. Choice C, '23/3,' is incorrect as it is not the simplified integer result of the expression. Choice D, '11,' is incorrect as it does not result from the given expression when y = 3.

3. What is the perimeter of a garden bed with a side length of 8 meters?

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 24m. The perimeter of a square is found by adding up all its sides. In this case, since the garden bed has a side length of 8 meters, the perimeter would be 8m + 8m + 8m + 8m = 24m. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not correctly calculate the perimeter of a square with a side length of 8 meters.

4. Find x if 40:5 = 60:x.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To find x in the proportion 40:5 = 60:x, set up the equation: 40/5 = 60/x. Cross-multiply to solve for x: 40x = 60 * 5 => 40x = 300. Divide by 40 to isolate x: x = 300 / 40 = 7.5. However, x should be a whole number since it represents a quantity, so x = 7. Therefore, the correct answer is 7 (B). Choices A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not satisfy the proportion equation.

5. How many milliliters are in 3 liters?

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 3000 milliliters. There are 1,000 milliliters in a liter. Therefore, 3 liters = 3 × 1,000 = 3,000 milliliters. Choice A (300 milliliters) is incorrect as it represents the conversion of 0.3 liters, not 3 liters. Choice C (1500 milliliters) is incorrect as it is halfway between the correct answer and a common mistake of confusing liters with milliliters. Choice D (300 milliliters) is incorrect as it is the conversion of 0.3 liters, not 3 liters.
