HESI A2 Math Practice Test 2022
1. If the ratio and proportion 15:2000=x:200, what is the value of x?
- A. 7
- B. 0
- C. 7,777
- D. 1
Correct answer: D
Rationale: To find the value of x in the given ratio and proportion, we can set up the equation as 15:2000=x:200. Cross multiply to get x * 2000 = 15 * 200. Simplifying this gives x = 1. Therefore, the correct answer is D, which is 1. Choice A (7), Choice B (0), and Choice C (7,777) are incorrect as they do not match the correct calculation of x.
2. Subtract 2 5\8 - 7\8 and reduce.
- A. 1 & 5\8
- B. 1 & 1\4
- C. 1 & 6\8
- D. 1 & 3\4
Correct answer: A
Rationale: Subtract the fractions first: 2 5\8 - 7\8 = 1 & 5\8.
3. What is the perimeter of a square with a side length of 5 meters?
- A. 15 meters
- B. 20 meters
- C. 25 meters
- D. 30 meters
Correct answer: B
Rationale: The formula to calculate the perimeter of a square is P = 4s, where P is the perimeter and s is the length of a side. Given that the side length is 5 meters, the perimeter is 4 * 5 = 20 meters. Therefore, the correct answer is B. Choices A (15 meters), C (25 meters), and D (30 meters) are incorrect as they do not correctly apply the formula to calculate the perimeter of a square.
4. A worker in a warehouse ships 9 boxes each day. If every box must contain 3 shipping labels, how many shipping labels does the worker need each day?
- A. 24 labels
- B. 27 labels
- C. 20 labels
- D. 30 labels
Correct answer: B
Rationale: To find the total number of shipping labels needed, multiply the number of boxes by the labels per box: 9 boxes * 3 labels per box = 27 labels. Therefore, the worker needs 27 shipping labels each day. Choice A, 24 labels, is incorrect because it results from multiplying 9 boxes by 3 labels without calculating the correct total. Choice C, 20 labels, is incorrect as it underestimates the total number of labels needed. Choice D, 30 labels, is incorrect as it overestimates the total by multiplying incorrectly.
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.
