HESI A2 Math Practice Test

1. If Jolene averages 5 miles for every 30 minutes of biking, how far will she bike in 2 hours?

Correct answer: C

Rationale: If Jolene bikes 5 miles for every 30 minutes, it means she bikes 10 miles in one hour (twice the 30-minute interval). Therefore, in 2 hours, she will cover double the distance she bikes in one hour, which equals 20 miles (10 miles per hour x 2 hours = 20 miles). This makes Choice C, '20 miles,' the correct answer. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not account for the correct doubling of the hourly distance when calculating the total distance biked in 2 hours.

2. How many kilograms are equivalent to 20 pounds?

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert pounds to kilograms, you need to multiply the number of pounds by 0.4536. Therefore, to find out how many kilograms are in 20 pounds, you would calculate 20 x 0.4536 = 9.072 kilograms, which is approximately 9 kilograms. Choice A is correct. Choice B (16 kilograms), Choice C (44 kilograms), and Choice D (3 kilograms) are all incorrect conversions of pounds to kilograms.

3. What is the result of dividing 3 by 4?

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To divide 3 by 4, we perform the division operation: 3 ÷ 4 = 0.75. The correct answer is 0.75 (D). Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not result from dividing 3 by 4. Choice A (5.75) is the result of dividing 23 by 4, choice B (5.875) is the result of dividing 7 by 1.2, and choice C (6.25) is the result of multiplying 5 by 1.25.

4. What is the result of multiplying 8 by 2?

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.

5. Which of these dates is represented by the Roman numeral MMXV?

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The Roman numeral MMXV represents the year 2015. In Roman numerals, M represents 1000, X represents 10, and V represents 5. Therefore, by converting the Roman numeral MMXV into its numerical equivalent (1000 + 10 + 5), it corresponds to the year 2015. Choice A (2001) is incorrect as it would be represented as MM + I, choice C (2051) would be represented as MM + LI, and choice D (2105) would be represented as MMCV in Roman numerals, making them all inaccurate representations of MMXV.
