Math HESI A2 Practice Test
1. If a person consumes 500 calories per meal, how many calories will they consume in 3 meals?
- A. 1000 calories
- B. 1500 calories
- C. 2000 calories
- D. 500 calories
Correct answer: B
Rationale: To find the total calories consumed in 3 meals, you multiply the number of meals by the calories per meal: 3 meals x 500 calories/meal = 1500 calories. Therefore, the correct answer is 1500 calories. Choice A (1000 calories) is incorrect because it miscalculates the total calories. Choice C (2000 calories) is incorrect as it overestimates the total calories. Choice D (500 calories) is incorrect as it represents the calories consumed in a single meal, not in 3 meals.
2. Calculate the product of (99)(0.56) =
- A. 99.30
- B. 99.56
- C. 55.44
- D. 199.54
Correct answer: C
Rationale: To find the product of 99 and 0.56, multiply the two numbers: 99 x 0.56 = 55.44. Therefore, the correct answer is 55.44.
3. What is the result of subtracting 8.4 from 3.7?
- A. 4.5
- B. 4.8
- C. 4.6
- D. 4.7
Correct answer: D
Rationale: To find the result of subtracting 8.4 from 3.7, you need to subtract 3.7 from 8.4. Performing this subtraction, 8.4 - 3.7 equals 4.7. Therefore, the correct answer is 4.7. Choice A, 4.5, is incorrect as it is not the result of subtracting 8.4 from 3.7. Choices B and C, 4.8 and 4.6 respectively, are also incorrect as they do not match the correct subtraction result of 4.7.
4. Evaluate the following expression: -x + y + xy, when x = 4 and y = 2.
- A. 2
- B. 6
- C. 12
- D. 8
Correct answer: B
Rationale: To evaluate the expression, substitute x = 4 and y = 2 into the expression: -4 + 2 + 4*2. Calculate each term: -4 + 2 = -2, then 4*2 = 8. Adding these results gives -2 + 8 = 6. Therefore, the correct answer is 6. Choice A (2) is incorrect as it does not consider all terms in the expression. Choice C (12) is incorrect as it miscalculates the result by failing to account for the negative sign. Choice D (8) is incorrect as it doesn't consider the negative value of the first term in the expression.
5. How many ounces are in 1.5 quarts?
- A. 32 ounces
- B. 16 ounces
- C. 48 ounces
- D. 64 ounces
Correct answer: C
Rationale: To convert quarts to ounces, you multiply the number of quarts by the conversion factor of 32 (since there are 32 ounces in a quart). Therefore, 1.5 quarts is equal to 1.5 x 32 = 48 ounces. The correct answer is 48 ounces. Choice A (32 ounces) is incorrect as it represents the amount of ounces in 1 quart, not 1.5 quarts. Choice B (16 ounces) is incorrect as it is half the amount of ounces in 1 quart. Choice D (64 ounces) is incorrect as it represents the amount of ounces in 2 quarts, not 1.5 quarts.
