Math HESI A2 Practice Test

1. What is the result of adding 1/4 + 3/8?

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To add fractions with different denominators, find a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator of 4 and 8 is 8. Convert 1/4 to 2/8, then add it to 3/8. The sum is 5/8. Choice B (7/12) is incorrect as it is the result of adding 1/3 + 1/4. Choice C (2/3) is incorrect as it is the result of adding 3/8 + 1/4. Choice D (1/2) is incorrect as it is the result of adding 1/4 + 1/4.

2. Convert 3/8 to a decimal.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To convert 3/8 to a decimal, divide 3 by 8: 3 ÷ 8 = 0.375. The correct answer is 0.375. Choice A (0.25), Choice B (0.25), and Choice C (0.3) are incorrect because they do not represent the equivalent decimal value of 3/8.

3. What is the result of subtracting 8.4 from 3.7?

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.

4. Relatively prime numbers share no common factors other than 1. Which of the following pairs of numbers are relatively prime?

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Rationale: - Relatively prime numbers are numbers that share no common factors other than 1. - To determine if two numbers are relatively prime, we need to find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the two numbers. If the GCD is 1, then the numbers are relatively prime. - Let's calculate the GCD for each pair of numbers: A) GCD(12, 16) = 4, not relatively prime B) GCD(15, 17) = 1, relatively prime C) GCD(20, 24) = 4, not relatively prime D) GCD(28, 36) = 4, not relatively prime Therefore, the pair of numbers 15 and 17 are relatively prime because their greatest common divisor is 1, meaning they share no common factors other than 1.

5. What is 70% of 200?

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To find 70% of a number, you multiply the number by 0.70. Therefore, 70% of 200 is calculated as 0.7 × 200 = 140. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not represent the correct calculation for finding 70% of 200.
