HESI A2 Math Practice Test 2022
1. What is the result of adding 12 1/21 and 3 1/3?
- A. 15 8/21
- B. 16 5/24
- C. 15
- D. 14
Correct answer: A
Rationale: To add 12 1/21 and 3 1/3, first add the whole numbers: 12 + 3 = 15. Then, add the fractions: 1/21 + 1/3. To find a common denominator, multiply 21 by 3 to get 63. Convert 1/21 to an equivalent fraction with a denominator of 63 by multiplying the numerator and denominator by 3, resulting in 3/63. Now add 3/63 (equivalent to 1/21) and 21/63 (equivalent to 1/3) to get 24/63. Simplifying 24/63 gives 8/21. Therefore, the sum is 15 8/21. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not result from the correct addition of the given numbers and fractions.
2. 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 ๐ฅ x: 1.2 ร 42 = 14 ๐ฅ 1.2ร42=14x 50.4 = 14 ๐ฅ 50.4=14x ๐ฅ = 50.4 14 = 3.6 x= 14 50.4 โ =3.6
3. 7 is divisible by which of the following numbers?
- A. 2 only
- B. 3 only
- C. 1 and 7 only
- D. 2, 3, and 7
Correct answer: D
Rationale: Rationale: 1. 7 is divisible by 1 because every number is divisible by 1. 2. 7 is divisible by 7 because any number is divisible by itself. 3. 7 is not divisible by 2 because 7 is an odd number and not divisible by 2. 4. 7 is not divisible by 3 because the sum of the digits of 7 (7) is not divisible by 3. Therefore, 7 is divisible by 1, 7, and itself (7), making the correct answer D) 2, 3, and 7.
4. Solve for x: 4x - 8 = 16.
- A. x = 7
- B. x = 7
- C. x = 4
- D. x = 6
Correct answer: D
Rationale: To solve the equation 4x - 8 = 16, first, add 8 to both sides to isolate 4x: 4x = 24. Then, divide by 4 to solve for x: x = 6. Therefore, the correct answer is D. Choice A, x = 7, is incorrect as the correct solution is x = 6. Choices B and C are duplicates of choice A and are also incorrect.
5. What number is 6 equal to 15% of?
- A. 0.9
- B. 40
- C. 80
- D. 90
Correct answer: B
Rationale: To find the number that 6 is equal to 15% of, we set up the equation 0.15x = 6, where x is the unknown number. To solve for x, we divide 6 by 0.15, which gives us x = 40. Therefore, 6 is equal to 15% of the number 40. Choice A (0.9) is incorrect as it is not the result of dividing 6 by 0.15. Choices C (80) and D (90) are incorrect as they do not satisfy the equation 0.15x = 6.
