HESI A2 Practice Test Math
1. How many pints are in 56 ounces?
- A. 3
- B. 3.5
- C. 7
- D. 8
Correct answer: B
Rationale: To find out how many pints are in 56 ounces, you need to divide 56 by 16 (as there are 16 ounces in a pint). This results in 3.5 pints, making choice B the correct answer. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately calculate the conversion from ounces to pints.
2. What is 15% of 95?
- A. 14.25
- B. 18.5
- C. 24.25
- D. 28.5
Correct answer: A
Rationale: To find 15% of 95, you multiply 95 by 0.15 (which represents 15% as a decimal). Therefore, 95 * 0.15 = 14.25. The correct answer is A. Choice B, 18.5, is incorrect as it does not represent 15% of 95. Choices C and D, 24.25 and 28.5, are also incorrect calculations for 15% of 95.
3. How many ounces are in 8 & 1/4 pints?
- A. 136 oz
- B. 128 oz
- C. 132 oz
- D. 130 oz
Correct answer: C
Rationale: To convert 8 1/4 pints to ounces, first convert the mixed number to an improper fraction: 8 1/4 = 33/4. There are 16 ounces in 1 pint. Now, multiply 33/4 by 16 ounces per pint: 33/4 x 16 = 132 ounces. Therefore, the correct answer is 132 oz. Choice A (136 oz) is incorrect because it does not result from the correct conversion. Choice B (128 oz) is incorrect as it is a miscalculation. Choice D (130 oz) is incorrect as well, not derived from the accurate conversion process.
4. Convert 5 3/4 to a decimal. Round to the nearest tenth.
- A. 5.75
- B. 5.7
- C. 5.8
- D. 6
Correct answer: C
Rationale: To convert 5 3/4 to a decimal, divide the numerator (3) by the denominator (4) to get 0.75. Adding this to the whole number 5 results in 5.75. When rounding to the nearest tenth, 5.75 rounds to 5.8. Therefore, the correct answer is 5.8. Choice A, 5.75, is the result before rounding to the nearest tenth. Choice B, 5.7, is incorrect as it does not account for the 0.05 difference when rounding. Choice D, 6, is the next whole number and is not the correct decimal equivalent of 5 3/4.
5. What is the result of adding 4.934, 7.1, and 9.08?
- A. 21.114
- B. 21.042
- C. 20.214
- D. 59.13
Correct answer: A
Rationale: To find the sum of 4.934, 7.1, and 9.08, we add them together: 4.934 + 7.1 + 9.08 = 21.114. Therefore, the correct answer is A, 21.114. Choice B, 21.042, is incorrect as it does not represent the accurate sum of the numbers provided. Choice C, 20.214, is incorrect as it does not account for the correct addition of the given numbers. Choice D, 59.13, is incorrect as it is not the sum of the numbers 4.934, 7.1, and 9.08.
