HESI A2 Practice Test Math
1. Erin has 6.25 peach pies. She gives Rose 3.75 of the peach pies. How many pies does Erin have left?
- A. 2 peach pies
- B. 3 peach pies
- C. 1 peach pie
- D. 2 peach pies
Correct answer: A
Rationale: To find how many pies Erin has left, subtract 3.75 from 6.25: 6.25 - 3.75 = 2.5 peach pies. Erin has 2.5 peach pies left, which rounds down to 2 pies, making choice A the correct answer. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not reflect the correct subtraction result.
2. Express 25 as a fraction in lowest terms.
- A. 1⅖
- B. 1½
- C. 1¼
- D.
Correct answer: C
Rationale: To express 25 as a fraction in lowest terms, we write it as 25/1. Then, we simplify the fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 25. This results in 25/1 = 25/25 = 1 as the whole number part and 0 as the fractional part. Thus, 25 can be expressed as 1¼. Choice A (1⅖) is incorrect as it represents 1 and 2/5, which is not equivalent to 25. Choice B (1½) is incorrect as it represents 1 and 1/2, which is also not equivalent to 25. Choice D is empty and does not provide an answer.
3. How many liters are in 300 milliliters?
- A. 0.3 liters
- B. 3 liters
- C. 0.03 liters
- D. 3.3 liters
Correct answer: A
Rationale: 300 milliliters is equivalent to 0.3 liters. To convert milliliters to liters, you need to move the decimal three places to the left. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choice B (3 liters) is incorrect as it represents the conversion of 3000 milliliters. Choice C (0.03 liters) is incorrect as it represents the conversion of 30 milliliters. Choice D (3.3 liters) is also incorrect as it is not the correct conversion of 300 milliliters.
4. A teacher's aide must convert the directions from quarts to liters. The directions say to dilute the contents of a package in 3 quarts of water. How many liters should be used?
- A. 2.8 liters
- B. 3.5 liters
- C. 2.5 liters
- D. 4.0 liters
Correct answer: A
Rationale: To convert quarts to liters, you can multiply the number of quarts by 0.946353. In this case, 3 quarts is approximately 2.8 liters. Therefore, the correct answer is 2.8 liters. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not reflect the accurate conversion from quarts to liters.
5. What is the result of the expression 47/57 + 65/75?
- A. 1 23/35
- B. 2 1/3
- C. 1 2/3
- D. 1 5/6
Correct answer: A
Rationale: To add fractions, you need a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator is 57 * 75 = 4275. So, (47*75 + 65*57) / 4275 = (3525 + 3705) / 4275 = 7230 / 4275. Simplifying this fraction gives 1 23/35. Choice B: 2 1/3 is incorrect as the correct result is not a mixed number. Choice C: 1 2/3 is incorrect as it does not match the simplified result of the expression. Choice D: 1 5/6 is incorrect as it is a different value from the correct result obtained by adding the fractions.
