HESI A2 Math Practice
1. Convert 7/8 to a decimal.
- A. 0.8
- B. 0.8
- C. 0.875
- D. 0.9
Correct answer: C
Rationale: To convert the fraction 7/8 to a decimal, you divide the numerator (7) by the denominator (8): 7 ÷ 8 = 0.875. Therefore, the correct decimal representation of the fraction 7/8 is 0.875. Choice A and B, which are both 0.8, are incorrect as they represent 4/5 and not 7/8. Choice D, 0.9, is also incorrect as it represents 9/10 and not 7/8.
2. Subtract 14.5 - 7.25.
- A. 7.15
- B. 7.25
- C. 7.15
- D. 7.5
Correct answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B. When you subtract 7.25 from 14.5, you get 7.25. The difference between 14.5 and 7.25 is 7.25. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect. Choice A (7.15) is the result of incorrectly subtracting 14.5 - 7.25. Choice C repeats choice A, so it is also wrong. Choice D (7.5) is not the correct result of the subtraction provided in the question.
3. How many grams of carbohydrates are in a product if it contains 4 servings, and each serving has 8 grams of carbohydrates?
- A. 32 grams
- B. 28 grams
- C. 24 grams
- D. 20 grams
Correct answer: A
Rationale: To calculate the total grams of carbohydrates in the product, you multiply the number of servings by the grams of carbohydrates per serving. Given that each serving has 8 grams of carbohydrates and there are 4 servings, the total would be 4 servings * 8 grams = 32 grams. Therefore, the correct answer is A: 32 grams. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not correctly calculate the total grams of carbohydrates based on the information provided.
4. Multiply: 32 × 5 and express the result in decimal form.
- A. 0.0016
- B. 0.016
- C. 0.16
- D. 1.6
Correct answer: D
Rationale: To find the product of 32 and 5, you simply multiply the two numbers: 32 × 5 = 160. Therefore, when expressed in decimal form, the answer is 1.6. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not represent the correct multiplication result in decimal form. Choice A is way too small, choice B is also too small, and choice C is close but still not the correct result.
5. Solve for x: 3x - 5 = 10
- A. x = 5
- B. x = 10
- C. x = 15
- D. x = 20
Correct answer: A
Rationale: To solve the equation 3x - 5 = 10, start by isolating x. Add 5 to both sides of the equation to get 3x = 15. Then, divide by 3 on both sides to find x = 5. Therefore, the correct answer is x = 5. Choice B, x = 10, is incorrect because adding 5 to 10 does not yield 10. Choice C, x = 15, is incorrect as adding 5 to 15 does not equal 10. Choice D, x = 20, is incorrect because adding 5 to 20 does not result in 10.
