Practice HESI A2 Math Test
1. A patient's height is 1.65 meters and their weight is 75kg. Calculate their BMI and interpret the result.
- A. 23.1 (Normal)
- B. 25.3 (Overweight)
- C. 27.7 (Overweight)
- D. 32.8 (Obese)
Correct answer: C
Rationale: To calculate BMI, divide weight (75kg) by height squared (1.65m^2) to get BMI (27.7). A BMI of 27.7 falls within the 'overweight' category (25-29.9 BMI). Choice A is incorrect as a BMI of 23.1 would be in the 'normal' range (18.5-24.9 BMI). Choice B is incorrect as 25.3 falls within the 'overweight' category. Choice D is incorrect as 32.8 is in the 'obese' category (>30 BMI). Therefore, the correct answer is C.
2. Round to the nearest whole number: 4748 ÷ 12 =
- A. 372
- B. 384
- C. 396
- D. 412
Correct answer: C
Rationale: To find the answer, divide 4748 by 12: 4748 ÷ 12 = 395.666... Since we are rounding to the nearest whole number, we round up to 396 because the decimal part (.666) is greater than .5. Choice A (372) is too low as it does not account for the decimal value. Choice B (384) is also too low. Choice D (412) is too high as it goes beyond the correct rounded value.
3. What is the result of multiplying 7.2 by 0.34?
- A. 14.12
- B. 0.234
- C. 7.64
- D. 2.448
Correct answer: D
Rationale: To find the result of multiplying 7.2 by 0.34, multiply these two numbers: 7.2 x 0.34 = 2.448. The correct answer is 2.448. Choice A, 14.12, is incorrect as it seems to be the sum of the two numbers. Choice B, 0.234, is incorrect as it is much smaller than the expected result. Choice C, 7.64, is incorrect as it is the result of adding the two numbers rather than multiplying them.
4. What is the product of 375 and 2.3?
- A. 862.5
- B. 750
- C. 225.75
- D. 1125
Correct answer: A
Rationale: To find the product of 375 and 2.3, multiply them: 375 × 2.3 = 862.5. When multiplying by 2.3, it is important to shift the decimal point appropriately after performing the calculation. Choice A, 862.5, is the correct answer. Choice B, 750, is incorrect because it is the result of multiplying 375 by 2. Choice C, 225.75, is incorrect as it appears to be the result of multiplying the numbers in the wrong order. Choice D, 1125, is incorrect as it seems to be the result of multiplying 375 by 3 instead of 2.3.
5. What is the result of adding 4.934, 7.1, and 9.08?
- A. 21.114
- B. 21.042
- C. 20.214
- D. 59.13
Correct answer: A
Rationale: To find the sum of 4.934, 7.1, and 9.08, we add them together: 4.934 + 7.1 + 9.08 = 21.114. Therefore, the correct answer is A, 21.114. Choice B, 21.042, is incorrect as it does not represent the accurate sum of the numbers provided. Choice C, 20.214, is incorrect as it does not account for the correct addition of the given numbers. Choice D, 59.13, is incorrect as it is not the sum of the numbers 4.934, 7.1, and 9.08.
