HESI A2 Math Practice Test 2024
1. In the number 743.25, which digit represents the tenths place?
- A. 3
- B. 4
- C. 2
- D. 5
Correct answer: C
Rationale: In the number 743.25, the tenths place is the first digit to the right of the decimal point, which is 2. Therefore, the correct answer is C. Choice A (3) represents the hundredths place, choice B (4) represents the units place, and choice D (5) represents the hundredths place.
2. A family uses 12 gallons of water every day. How many gallons do they use in a non-leap year?
- A. 4,120 gallons
- B. 4,380 gallons
- C. 3,840 gallons
- D. 4,350 gallons
Correct answer: B
Rationale: To determine the total gallons the family uses in a non-leap year, you have to multiply the daily consumption by the number of days in a non-leap year. So, 12 gallons/day x 365 days = 4,380 gallons used per year. Therefore, the correct answer is B. Choice A is incorrect as it provides an inaccurate total by not considering the total days in a year. Choice C is incorrect as it offers a lower value due to not multiplying the daily usage by the total days in a year. Choice D is incorrect as it doesn't accurately calculate the total gallons used in a non-leap year.
3. How many grams are in 4 kilograms?
- A. 4000 grams
- B. 3000 grams
- C. 4500 grams
- D. 3500 grams
Correct answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: 4000 grams. To convert kilograms to grams, you need to multiply the number of kilograms by 1000 since there are 1000 grams in 1 kilogram. Therefore, 4 kilograms is equal to 4 x 1000 = 4000 grams. Choice B (3000 grams), C (4500 grams), and D (3500 grams) are incorrect as they do not correctly convert 4 kilograms into grams.
4. Solve for x. x/250 = 3/500
- A. 1.5
- B. 2
- C. 1500
- D. 25
Correct answer: A
Rationale: To solve the proportion x/250 = 3/500, cross multiply to get 500x = 750. Then solve for x by dividing both sides by 500, which results in x = 1.5. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choice B (2) is incorrect because the correct solution is 1.5, not 2. Choice C (1500) is incorrect as it does not align with the correct calculation of the proportion. Choice D (25) is incorrect and does not match the correct solution obtained by solving the proportion.
5. A worker's schedule is written in military time, and shows their shift is from 1500 to 0100. When will they get off work?
- A. A little bit after midnight
- B. 1:00 AM
- C. 3:00 AM
- D. 12:30 AM
Correct answer: B
Rationale: When converting military time, 0100 actually corresponds to 1:00 AM the next day. Choice A is incorrect as 'a little bit after midnight' is vague and not a specific time. Choice C is incorrect as it is after the worker's shift ends. Choice D is incorrect as it is before the worker's shift ends.
