HESI A2 Math Practice Test 2022
1. A mother is planning a birthday party. She will give each child 15 balloons. There are 50 balloons per packet. How many packets does the mother need if there will be 16 children?
- A. 17
- B. 5
- C. 6
- D. 50
Correct answer: B
Rationale: To calculate the total number of balloons needed, multiply the number of children by the balloons each child will receive: 16 children * 15 balloons = 240 balloons. Since there are 50 balloons per packet, divide the total number of balloons needed by the balloons per packet: 240 balloons ÷ 50 balloons per packet = 4.8 packets. As you cannot buy a fraction of a packet, the mother will need to round up to the nearest whole number of packets, which is 5. Therefore, the correct answer is 5 packets. Choice A (17) is incorrect because it does not accurately calculate the number of packets needed. Choice C (6) is incorrect as it overestimates the number of packets required. Choice D (50) is incorrect as it does not consider the number of children and balloons per child in the calculation.
2. How many ounces are in 1.5 quarts?
- A. 32 ounces
- B. 16 ounces
- C. 48 ounces
- D. 64 ounces
Correct answer: C
Rationale: To convert quarts to ounces, you multiply the number of quarts by the conversion factor of 32 (since there are 32 ounces in a quart). Therefore, 1.5 quarts is equal to 1.5 x 32 = 48 ounces. The correct answer is 48 ounces. Choice A (32 ounces) is incorrect as it represents the amount of ounces in 1 quart, not 1.5 quarts. Choice B (16 ounces) is incorrect as it is half the amount of ounces in 1 quart. Choice D (64 ounces) is incorrect as it represents the amount of ounces in 2 quarts, not 1.5 quarts.
3. How many pounds are in 128 ounces?
- A. 16 pounds
- B. 10 pounds
- C. 12 pounds
- D. 8 pounds
Correct answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D, 8 pounds. There are 16 ounces in a pound. To convert 128 ounces to pounds, you divide 128 by 16, which equals 8 pounds. Choice A, 16 pounds, is incorrect because that would be the conversion the other way around, from pounds to ounces. Choices B and C are incorrect as they do not reflect the correct conversion from ounces to pounds.
4. The height of a building is 150 feet. If each floor of the building is 12 feet high, how many floors are in the building?
- A. 13 floors
- B. 15 floors
- C. 10 floors
- D. 18 floors
Correct answer: A
Rationale: To determine the number of floors in the building, divide the total height of the building (150 feet) by the height of each floor (12 feet). 150 feet ÷ 12 feet per floor = 12.5 floors. Since floors cannot be in fractions, the answer is rounded down to the nearest whole number, which is 13 floors. Therefore, the correct answer is A: 13 floors. Choice B (15 floors) is incorrect because the calculation results in 12.5 floors, which should be rounded down. Choices C (10 floors) and D (18 floors) are incorrect as they do not accurately reflect the division result and rounding down process.
5. What is the result of subtracting 8.4 from 3.7?
- A. 4.5
- B. 4.8
- C. 4.6
- D. 4.7
Correct answer: D
Rationale: To find the result of subtracting 8.4 from 3.7, you need to subtract 3.7 from 8.4. Performing this subtraction, 8.4 - 3.7 equals 4.7. Therefore, the correct answer is 4.7. Choice A, 4.5, is incorrect as it is not the result of subtracting 8.4 from 3.7. Choices B and C, 4.8 and 4.6 respectively, are also incorrect as they do not match the correct subtraction result of 4.7.
