HESI A2 Math Practice Test

1. Which of these dates is represented by the Roman numeral MMXV?

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The Roman numeral MMXV represents the year 2015. In Roman numerals, M represents 1000, X represents 10, and V represents 5. Therefore, by converting the Roman numeral MMXV into its numerical equivalent (1000 + 10 + 5), it corresponds to the year 2015. Choice A (2001) is incorrect as it would be represented as MM + I, choice C (2051) would be represented as MM + LI, and choice D (2105) would be represented as MMCV in Roman numerals, making them all inaccurate representations of MMXV.

2. Multiply: 15 × 52 =

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To find the product of 15 and 52, you simply multiply them together: 15 x 52 = 780. Therefore, the correct answer is 7.8. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they represent fractions or decimals much smaller than the correct product of 780.

3. Subtract 12 - 7 & 4\5.

Correct answer: C

Rationale: 12 - 7 & 4\5 equals 4 & 1\5.

4. In Mr. Garcia's class, two-thirds of the students are boys. If there are 27 students in the class, how many of them are girls?

Correct answer: B

Rationale: If two-thirds of the students are boys, then one-third of the students must be girls. One-third of 27 is 9, so there are 9 girls in Mr. Garcia's class. Therefore, the correct answer is 9. Choice A is incorrect because it is too low; only one-third of the students are girls. Choices C and D are incorrect as they do not reflect the correct calculation based on the given information in the question.

5. What is (12/15) ÷ (3/5) = ?

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To divide fractions, you multiply by the reciprocal of the divisor. (12/15) ÷ (3/5) is the same as (12/15) * (5/3). Cancel out common factors to simplify: 12 ÷ 3 = 4, 15 ÷ 5 = 3. So, the expression simplifies to 4/3, which is 1 1/3 in mixed number form. Choice A, 1 1/3, is the correct answer. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not represent the simplified form of the division of the given fractions.
