1. Convert 5/8 to a decimal.
A. 0.625
B. 0.625 — CORRECT ANSWER
C. 0.6
D. 0.85
,Rationale: To convert a fraction to a decimal, divide the numerator by the
denominator: 5 ÷ 8 = 0.625. This is a fundamental fraction-to-decimal conversion
tested frequently on the HESI A2 Math section.
2. Solve for x: 3(x − 4) = 18
A. 6
B. 8
C. 10 — CORRECT ANSWER
D. 12
Rationale: Distribute: 3x − 12 = 18. Add 12 to both sides: 3x = 30. Divide by 3: x
= 10. Always isolate the variable by performing inverse operations.
3. A patient drinks 0.75 L of water. How many mL is that?
A. 750 mL — CORRECT ANSWER
B. 75 mL
C. 7.5 mL
,D. 7500 mL
Rationale: 1 L = 1000 mL. Therefore, 0.75 × 1000 = 750 mL. Metric conversions
are heavily tested in the HESI A2 Math section, especially liters to milliliters.
4. What is 20% of 250?
A. 25
B. 50 — CORRECT ANSWER
C. 75
D. 100
Rationale: Convert the percentage to a decimal: 0.20 × 250 = 50. Percentage
calculations are among the most commonly tested math concepts on the HESI A2.
5. Add: 3/4 + 1/6 =
A. 4/10
B. 8/12
, C. 11/12 — CORRECT ANSWER
D. 7/12
Rationale: Find the LCD (12): 9/12 + 2/12 = 11/12. When adding fractions, you
must first find a common denominator, then add the numerators.
6. A nurse works 3 shifts of 12 hours each per week. How many hours in 2 weeks?
A. 36
B. 72 — CORRECT ANSWER
C. 48
D. 60
Rationale: 3 × 12 = 36 hours per week. 36 × 2 = 72 hours in two weeks. Break
multi-step word problems into smaller calculations.
7. Ratio 5:3 is equivalent to?
A. 10:3
