HESI A2 Math Practice Test 2023
1. Add 2\3 + 1\6 + 2\5.
- A. 1 & 7\30
- B. 1 & 1\15
- C. 2\5
- D. 3\4
Correct answer: A
Rationale: To add fractions, find a common denominator (30), which gives 20/30 + 5/30 + 12/30=37/30= 1 7/30
2. Express 4/5 as a percent.
- A. 20%
- B. 40%
- C. 50%
- D. 80%
Correct answer: D
Rationale: To convert a fraction to a percentage, you multiply the fraction by 100. To express 4/5 as a percent, you perform the calculation 4/5 * 100 = 80%. Therefore, the correct answer is D, 80%. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not represent the correct conversion of 4/5 to a percentage.
3. What percentage of 40 is 8?
- A. 20%
- B. 15%
- C. 10%
- D. 25%
Correct answer: C
Rationale: To find the percentage of 8 in 40, divide 8 by 40 to get 0.2. Multiply this result by 100 to convert it to a percentage: 0.2 × 100 = 10%. Therefore, 8 is 10% of 40, making choice C the correct answer. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect percentages calculated from incorrect divisions and multiplications.
4. A woman received a bottle of perfume as a present. The bottle contains 1/2 oz of perfume. How many milliliters is this?
- A. 15 mL
- B. 20 mL
- C. 10 mL
- D. 50 mL
Correct answer: A
Rationale: 1/2 oz of perfume is equal to approximately 15 mL. To convert ounces to milliliters, we need to know that 1 oz is approximately 30 mL. Therefore, half an ounce, which is 1/2 oz, would be half of 30 mL, which equals 15 mL. Choice B, 20 mL, is incorrect as it does not correspond to the conversion factor of 1 oz to 30 mL. Choice C, 10 mL, is incorrect as it is half of the actual value. Choice D, 50 mL, is incorrect as it is the value of 1 oz rather than half an ounce.
5. Solve for y if y = 3: 4y + 21 / y.
- A. 7.7
- B. 19
- C. 23/3
- D. 11
Correct answer: B
Rationale: To solve for y, substitute y = 3 into the equation: 4(3) + 21 / 3 = 12 + 7 = 19. Therefore, the correct answer is 19. Choice A (7.7) is incorrect as it does not result from the substitution. Choice C (23/3) is incorrect as it does not match the calculated value. Choice D (11) is incorrect, as it is not the result of the provided equation.
