HESI A2 Math Practice Test 2023
1. What is the volume of a birthday party hat with a cone-shaped top having a radius of 5cm and a height of 12cm?
- A. 60 cu cm
- B. 120 cu cm
- C. 150 cu cm
- D. 180 cu cm
Correct answer: C
Rationale: To find the volume of a cone, we use the formula: (1/3) * π * (radius)^2 * height. Substituting the given values: (1/3) * π * (5cm)^2 * 12cm = 150 cu cm. Therefore, the correct answer is C. Choice A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not correspond to the correct calculation using the formula for the volume of a cone.
2. Add and simplify: 4⅔ + 6½ =
- A. 11â…™
- B. 10â…“
- C. 9â…™
- D. 9
Correct answer: C
Rationale: To add 4⅔ and 6½, we first need to convert the fractions to have the same denominator. Converting 4⅔ to 6ths gives us 8/6, and 6½ to 6ths gives us 7/2. Adding them together gives 15/2, which simplifies to 7½ or 9⅙. Therefore, the correct answer is 9⅙. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not represent the correct sum of the fractions after conversion and simplification.
3. Solve for x: 4x + 2 = 18.
- A. x = 4
- B. x = 4
- C. x = 5
- D. x = 3
Correct answer: B
Rationale: To solve for x, first, subtract 2 from both sides of the equation: 4x = 16. Then, divide by 4 to isolate x: x = 4. Choice A, x = 4, is the correct answer as calculated. Choice C, x = 5, is incorrect because the correct value of x is 4, not 5. Choice D, x = 3, is incorrect as well, as the correct value of x is 4, not 3.
4. What is the sum of the digits of the number 72?
- A. 6
- B. 5
- C. 9
- D. 7
Correct answer: C
Rationale: To find the sum of the digits of the number 72, you simply add the individual digits together: 7 + 2 = 9. Therefore, the sum of the digits is 9. Choice A (6), Choice B (5), and Choice D (7) are incorrect as they do not correctly sum up the individual digits of the number 72.
5. How many ounces are in 2 quarts?
- A. 8 ounces
- B. 16 ounces
- C. 32 ounces
- D. 64 ounces
Correct answer: D
Rationale: To convert quarts to ounces, you need to multiply by 32 (1 quart = 32 ounces). Therefore, 2 quarts x 32 ounces/quart = 64 ounces. Hence, there are 64 ounces in 2 quarts. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not reflect the correct conversion factor from quarts to ounces.
