HESI A2 Practice Test Math
1. What is 20% of 150?
- A. 25
- B. 30
- C. 35
- D. 20
Correct answer: B
Rationale: To find 20% of 150, you need to multiply 150 by 0.20: 150 × 0.20 = 30. Therefore, 20% of 150 is indeed 30. Choice A (25) is incorrect as it represents 20% of 125, not 150. Choice C (35) is incorrect as it represents more than 20% of 150. Choice D (20) is incorrect as it is the original percentage to find.
2. A lab test result shows a blood glucose level of 5.5 millimoles per liter (mmol/L). What is the equivalent level in milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL)?
- A. 55 mg/dL
- B. 5.5 mg/dL
- C. 0.55 mg/dL
- D. 550 mg/dL
Correct answer: A
Rationale: To convert the blood glucose level from millimoles per liter (mmol/L) to milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL), we need to perform a double conversion. 1 millimole is equivalent to 180.15 milligrams, and 1 liter is equal to 10 deciliters. First, multiply the glucose level (5.5 mmol/L) by the conversion factor for millimoles to milligrams (180.15 mg/mmol), then divide by the conversion factor for liters to deciliters (10 dL/L): 5.5 mmol/L * 180.15 mg/mmol / 10 dL/L ≈ 55 mg/dL. Therefore, the equivalent blood glucose level in mg/dL is 55. Choice A is correct. Choice B is incorrect as it does not account for the conversion factors properly. Choices C and D are significantly off as they do not follow the correct conversion calculations.
3. If 30% of a given number is 18, what is the full number?
- A. 60
- B. 30
- C. 40
- D. 45
Correct answer: A
Rationale: If 30% of a number is 18, you can find the full number by dividing 18 by 0.30 (the decimal equivalent of 30%). This calculation results in 60. Therefore, the full number is 60. Choice B (30) is the result if 30% of the number itself was calculated, not the full number. Choices C (40) and D (45) are incorrect and do not align with the given information.
4. Convert 26°C to Fahrenheit.
- A. 78°F
- B. 72°F
- C. 80°F
- D. 85°F
Correct answer: A
Rationale: To convert Celsius to Fahrenheit, the formula F = (9/5)C + 32 is used. Substituting 26°C into the formula: F = (9/5)(26) + 32 = 78.8°F, which rounds to 78°F. Therefore, the correct answer is 78°F. Choice B (72°F), Choice C (80°F), and Choice D (85°F) are incorrect as they do not result from the correct conversion calculation.
5. Erin has 6.25 peach pies. She gives Rose 3.75 of the peach pies. How many pies does Erin have left?
- A. 2 peach pies
- B. 3 peach pies
- C. 1 peach pie
- D. 2 peach pies
Correct answer: A
Rationale: To find how many pies Erin has left, subtract 3.75 from 6.25: 6.25 - 3.75 = 2.5 peach pies. Erin has 2.5 peach pies left, which rounds down to 2 pies, making choice A the correct answer. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not reflect the correct subtraction result.
