Math HESI A2 Practice Test
1. Solve for x: x/5 = 3/10.
- A. x = 0.6
- B. x = 0.6
- C. x = 0.9
- D. x = 1.5
Correct answer: D
Rationale: To solve for x when x/5 = 3/10, you need to cross-multiply. This gives you 10x = 5 × 3. Simplifying further, you get x = 15/10, which reduces to x = 1.5. Therefore, the correct answer is x = 1.5. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not match the correct calculation for x.
2. Round to the tenths place: What is 6.4% of 32?
- A. 1.8
- B. 2.1
- C. 2.6
- D. 2.0
Correct answer: B
Rationale: To find 6.4% of 32, first calculate 6.4% as a decimal (0.064) and then multiply it by 32 to get 2.048. When rounding to the tenths place, 2.048 is rounded to 2.1 because the digit after the tenths place is 8, which is equal to or greater than 5. Choice A is incorrect as it does not reflect the accurate calculation. Choices C and D are also incorrect because they do not match the correct result of multiplying 6.4% by 32 and rounding to the tenths place.
3. What is the product of multiplying 44.44 by 55.55?
- A. 2,468.64
- B. 2,500.00
- C. 2,450.45
- D. 2,470.00
Correct answer: A
Rationale: When multiplying decimal numbers like 44.44 and 55.55, align them properly and multiply each place accurately. To find the product of 44.44 and 55.55, you get 2,468.64. Therefore, the correct answer is choice A, 2,468.64. Choice B, 2,500.00, is incorrect as it is the result of rounding up. Choice C, 2,450.45, is incorrect as it is not the result of multiplying 44.44 by 55.55. Choice D, 2,470.00, is incorrect as it is not the correct product of 44.44 and 55.55.
4. What is the value of x in the ratio and proportion 0.1:10=x:400?
- A. 5
- B. 4
- C. 50
- D. 25
Correct answer: B
Rationale: To solve the proportion 0.1:10=x:400, first, simplify the left side to 1:100. Then, set up the proportion as 1:100=x:400. Cross multiply to get x = 4. Therefore, the correct answer is B. Choice A (5) is incorrect because it does not match the calculated value of x. Choice C (50) is incorrect as it is not the result of solving the proportion provided. Choice D (25) is incorrect as it does not align with the correct calculation of x.
5. How many ounces are in 3/4 pints?
- A. 12 ounces
- B. 16 ounces
- C. 14 ounces
- D. 10 ounces
Correct answer: A
Rationale: To find the number of ounces in 3/4 pints, we need to know that 1 pint is equal to 16 ounces. Therefore, 3/4 of a pint would be 3/4 * 16 = 12 ounces. The correct answer is 12 ounces because 3/4 pints is equivalent to 12 ounces. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not accurately calculate the conversion from pints to ounces.
