HESI A2 Quizlet Math

1. In a survey, 120 people were asked if they could swim. If 85% said they could, how many people could swim?

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To find the number of people who could swim, multiply the total number surveyed by the percentage who said they could swim. In this case, 85% of 120 people is calculated as 0.85 * 120, resulting in 102 people who could swim. Choice A (100) is incorrect because this does not account for the percentage that said they could swim. Choice C (110) is incorrect as it is above the total number surveyed. Choice D (90) is incorrect as it does not consider the percentage who said they could swim.

2. Subtract 12 - 7 & 4\5.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: 12 - 7 & 4\5 equals 4 & 1\5.

3. A medication dosage is listed as 1/2 teaspoon. What is the equivalent dosage in milliliters (1 teaspoon = 5ml)?

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Rationale: Given that 1 teaspoon is equal to 5ml, and the medication dosage is listed as 1/2 teaspoon, we need to find half of 5ml. 1/2 of 5ml = 5ml / 2 = 2.5ml Therefore, the equivalent dosage in milliliters for 1/2 teaspoon is 2.5ml.

4. Evaluate the following expression: -x + y + xy, when x = 4 and y = 2.

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. Solve for x if x=11. x+(44/2x)

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Substitute x=11 into the expression: 11 + (44 / 2*11) = 11 + (44 / 22) = 11 + 2 = 13 Therefore, the correct answer is 13. Choice A (2.5) is incorrect as the correct result is 13, not 2.5. Choice B (33) is incorrect because it does not result from the given expression. Choice C (55) is incorrect as it does not match the calculated value. Choice D (13) is incorrect because the correct solution is 13, not 2.5.
