Math HESI A2 Practice Test

1. What is the result of adding 1/4 + 3/8?

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To add fractions with different denominators, find a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator of 4 and 8 is 8. Convert 1/4 to 2/8, then add it to 3/8. The sum is 5/8. Choice B (7/12) is incorrect as it is the result of adding 1/3 + 1/4. Choice C (2/3) is incorrect as it is the result of adding 3/8 + 1/4. Choice D (1/2) is incorrect as it is the result of adding 1/4 + 1/4.

2. A newborn weighs 3,459 grams. There are 453.59 grams per pound. What is the infant's weight in pounds and ounces?

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find the weight in pounds, divide the weight in grams by the conversion factor (453.59 grams per pound). 3,459 grams รท 453.59 = approximately 7 lbs 10 oz. Therefore, choice A (7 lbs 10 oz) is the correct answer. Choice B (10 lbs 7 oz) and Choice C (13 lbs 3 oz) are incorrect as they do not correspond to the correct conversion. Choice D (3 lbs 13 oz) is incorrect as it does not account for the additional pounds derived from dividing 3,459 grams by the conversion factor.

3. How many pounds are in 160 ounces?

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 10 pounds. There are 16 ounces in a pound. To convert 160 ounces to pounds, you need to divide 160 by 16, which equals 10 pounds. Choice B, 8 pounds, is incorrect because it does not account for the correct conversion factor. Choice C, 5 pounds, is incorrect as it is not the result of dividing 160 by 16. Choice D, 12 pounds, is incorrect as it overestimates the conversion.

4. A female ran a 24-mile course. Her first 6 miles took 1 hour, the second set of 6 miles took 1.2 hours, the third set of 6 miles took 1.5 hours, and the fourth set of 6 miles took 1.6 hours. How long did it take her to complete the course?

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find the total time taken, add the time for each segment: 1 hour + 1.2 hours + 1.5 hours + 1.6 hours = 5.3 hours. Therefore, it took her 5.3 hours to complete the course. The other choices are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the cumulative time calculated based on the given information.

5. Round to the nearest whole number. Change the fraction to a percent: 17/80 =

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert 17/80 to a percent, we divide 17 by 80 to get 0.2125. Multiplying by 100, we get 21.25%. Rounding to the nearest whole number, 21.25% becomes 21%. Choice A (20%) is incorrect because rounding 21.25% down to the nearest whole number gives 21%. Choice C (22%) is incorrect as it is the next whole number after 21. Choice D (23%) is incorrect as it is more than 21.25% and thus rounds up to 22%.
