HESI A2 Math Practice Test 2024
1. Ratio and proportion 1.2:x=14:42.
- A. 2
- B. 0
- C. 1
- D. 3

Rationale: Cross-multiply to solve for 𑥠x: 1.2 × 42 = 14 𑥠1.2×42=14x 50.4 = 14 𑥠50.4=14x 𑥠= 50.4 14 = 3.6 x= 14 50.4 ​ =3.6
2. If there are 128 ounces in 1 gallon, how many ounces are in 2.5 gallons?
- A. 256 ounces
- B. 320 ounces
- C. 400 ounces
- D. 250 ounces
Correct answer: B
Rationale: To find the total number of ounces in 2.5 gallons, multiply the number of gallons by the number of ounces per gallon: 2.5 gallons × 128 ounces/gallon = 320 ounces. The correct answer is 320 ounces. Choice C (400 ounces) is incorrect because multiplying 2.5 by 128 gives 320, not 400. Choice D (250 ounces) is also incorrect as it seems to be a miscalculation.
3. Round to the nearest whole number: 4748 ÷ 12 =
- A. 372
- B. 384
- C. 396
- D. 412
Correct answer: C
Rationale: To find the answer, divide 4748 by 12: 4748 ÷ 12 = 395.666... Since we are rounding to the nearest whole number, we round up to 396 because the decimal part (.666) is greater than .5. Choice A (372) is too low as it does not account for the decimal value. Choice B (384) is also too low. Choice D (412) is too high as it goes beyond the correct rounded value.
4. How many milliliters are in 4 liters?
- A. 40 milliliters
- B. 40 milliliters
- C. 4000 milliliters
- D. 4 milliliters
Correct answer: C
Rationale: To convert liters to milliliters, you must remember that 1 liter is equal to 1,000 milliliters. Therefore, to find out how many milliliters are in 4 liters, you multiply 4 by 1,000. This gives you a total of 4,000 milliliters in 4 liters. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not correctly convert liters to milliliters. A and B incorrectly represent 40 milliliters, which would be the result if you mistakenly multiplied by 10 instead of 1,000. Choice D is even further from the correct answer, as it suggests only 4 milliliters, which is significantly less than the actual conversion of 4 liters to milliliters.
5. What is the result of dividing 40.3 by 4.8?
- A. 7.5
- B. 8.4
- C. 6.2
- D. 9.1
Correct answer: B
Rationale: To divide 40.3 by 4.8, you perform the calculation: 40.3 ÷ 4.8 ≈ 8.4. Therefore, the correct answer is 8.4. Choice A (7.5) is incorrect as it is the result of dividing 40.3 by 5.4. Choice C (6.2) is incorrect as it is the result of dividing 40.3 by 6.5. Choice D (9.1) is incorrect as it is the result of dividing 40.3 by 4.4.
