Math HESI A2 Practice Test
1. If a person consumes 500 calories per meal, how many calories will they consume in 3 meals?
- A. 1000 calories
- B. 1500 calories
- C. 2000 calories
- D. 500 calories
Correct answer: B
Rationale: To find the total calories consumed in 3 meals, you multiply the number of meals by the calories per meal: 3 meals x 500 calories/meal = 1500 calories. Therefore, the correct answer is 1500 calories. Choice A (1000 calories) is incorrect because it miscalculates the total calories. Choice C (2000 calories) is incorrect as it overestimates the total calories. Choice D (500 calories) is incorrect as it represents the calories consumed in a single meal, not in 3 meals.
2. Which of these dates is represented by the Roman numeral MDXVI?
- A. 1106
- B. 1116
- C. 1506
- D. 1516
Correct answer: D
Rationale: The Roman numeral MDXVI translates to 1516 in Arabic numerals. The Roman numeral 'M' represents 1000, 'D' represents 500, 'X' represents 10, and 'VI' represents 6, which adds up to 1516. Therefore, the correct answer is 1516. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not match the Roman numeral MDXVI.
3. Tamison bought 20 stamps for 29¢ each and 40 stamps for 42¢ each. If she gave the postal worker $25, how much change did she receive?
- A. $2.40
- B. $2.80
- C. $3.20
- D. $3.60
Correct answer: A
Rationale: First, calculate the total cost of the 20 stamps bought at 29¢ each: 20 stamps * 29¢ = $5.80. Next, calculate the total cost of the 40 stamps bought at 42¢ each: 40 stamps * 42¢ = $16.80. The total cost of all stamps is $5.80 + $16.80 = $22.60. If Tamison gave $25 to the postal worker, her change is $25 - $22.60 = $2.40. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Option B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not reflect the correct change Tamison received after buying the stamps.
4. If she had $1,070 after spending $18, how much did she have initially?
- A. $1,052
- B. $1,060
- C. $1,071
- D. $1,075
Correct answer: A
Rationale: To determine the initial amount she had, we subtract the amount spent ($18) from the total amount she had after spending. If she had $1,070 after spending, subtracting $18 gives us $1,052, which was the initial amount. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not consider the subtraction of the amount spent to find the initial amount.
5. A man can type 45 words per minute. How many words can he type in 20 minutes?
- A. 875 words
- B. 800 words
- C. 900 words
- D. 875 words
Correct answer: C
Rationale: To calculate the total number of words typed in 20 minutes, multiply the typing speed per minute (45 words) by the duration in minutes (20 minutes): 45 words/min × 20 min = 900 words. Therefore, the correct answer is 900 words. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not reflect the accurate calculation based on the given information.
