HESI A2 Math Practice Test

1. Multiply: 32 × 5 and express the result in decimal form.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To find the product of 32 and 5, you simply multiply the two numbers: 32 × 5 = 160. Therefore, when expressed in decimal form, the answer is 1.6. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not represent the correct multiplication result in decimal form. Choice A is way too small, choice B is also too small, and choice C is close but still not the correct result.

2. The physician ordered 10 units of regular insulin, and 200 U/mL are on hand. How many milliliters will you give?

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To calculate the volume of insulin to be given, you can use the formula: Volume (mL) = (Ordered dose in units / Concentration of insulin in units/mL). Substituting the values, Volume (mL) = (10 units / 200 U/mL) = 0.05 mL. Therefore, the correct answer is 0.05 mL. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not match the calculated volume based on the provided information.

3. What factor is used to convert pounds to kilograms?

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct factor to convert pounds to kilograms is 2.2. To perform the conversion, you need to divide the number of pounds by 2.2. Choice A (1.8) is incorrect as it's not the standard conversion factor. Choice C (2.5) and Choice D (2) are also incorrect factors for converting pounds to kilograms.

4. Compare: 0.045 is _____ to 0.054.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B. When comparing 0.045 and 0.054, 0.045 is less than 0.054. Therefore, the correct relation is 'Less than.' Choice A ('Greater than') is incorrect because 0.045 is not greater than 0.054. Choice C ('Less than or equal to') is incorrect because 0.045 is strictly less than 0.054, not less than or equal to. Choice D ('Equal') is incorrect because 0.045 and 0.054 are not equal.

5. Alan is making a table. The table will be 6 1/2 feet long and 4 feet wide. The board for the table is 7 7/8 feet long and 4 feet wide. How much of the board will Alan need to cut off?

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To determine how much board Alan needs to cut off, subtract the length of the table from the length of the board: 7 7/8 - 6 1/2 = 1 3/8. Therefore, Alan needs to cut off 1 3/8 feet from the board. Choice A is correct. Choice B (2) is incorrect because the subtraction result is 1 3/8, not 2. Choice C (7/8) is incorrect as it represents only the fraction part of the answer, not the whole amount. Choice D (3/4) is incorrect as it is a different fraction value than the result of the subtraction.
