HESI A2 Math Practice Test
1. What is the result of multiplying 8 by 2?
- A. 16
- B. 22
- C. 24
- D. 32
Correct answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: 16. When you multiply 8 by 2, the result is 16. Choice B (22), Choice C (24), and Choice D (32) are incorrect as they do not represent the correct multiplication of 8 by 2.
2. A woman received a bottle of perfume as a present. The bottle contains 1/2 oz of perfume. How many milliliters is this?
- A. 15 mL
- B. 20 mL
- C. 10 mL
- D. 50 mL
Correct answer: A
Rationale: 1/2 oz of perfume is equal to approximately 15 mL. To convert ounces to milliliters, we need to know that 1 oz is approximately 30 mL. Therefore, half an ounce, which is 1/2 oz, would be half of 30 mL, which equals 15 mL. Choice B, 20 mL, is incorrect as it does not correspond to the conversion factor of 1 oz to 30 mL. Choice C, 10 mL, is incorrect as it is half of the actual value. Choice D, 50 mL, is incorrect as it is the value of 1 oz rather than half an ounce.
3. How many ounces are there in 4 cups?
- A. 16 ounces
- B. 24 ounces
- C. 28 ounces
- D. 32 ounces
Correct answer: A
Rationale: To find out how many ounces are in 4 cups, you need to multiply 8 ounces (the number of ounces in 1 cup) by 4 cups. This calculation results in 32 ounces. However, the question asks for the number of ounces in 4 cups, not the total ounces in 4 cups. Therefore, there are 16 ounces in 4 cups. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not represent the correct conversion of ounces in 4 cups.
4. Ratio and proportion 1.2:x=14:42.
- A. 2
- B. 0
- C. 1
- D. 3
Correct answer: D
Rationale: Cross-multiply to solve for 𝑥 x: 1.2 × 42 = 14 𝑥 1.2×42=14x 50.4 = 14 𝑥 50.4=14x 𝑥 = 50.4 14 = 3.6 x= 14 50.4 =3.6
5. Solve for x: x/5 = 3/10.
- A. x = 0.6
- B. x = 0.6
- C. x = 0.9
- D. x = 1.5
Correct answer: D
Rationale: To solve for x when x/5 = 3/10, you need to cross-multiply. This gives you 10x = 5 × 3. Simplifying further, you get x = 15/10, which reduces to x = 1.5. Therefore, the correct answer is x = 1.5. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not match the correct calculation for x.
