Math Practice TEAS Test Questions
Question 1 of 5
Simplify the following expression: 6 + 7 3 - 4 2
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: ollow the order of operations (PEMDAS: Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division (from left to right), Addition and Subtraction (from left to right)):
Multiply: 7 3 = 21, and 4 2 = 8
Perform addition and subtraction: 6 + 21 - 8 = 19
Thus, the simplified expression equals 19.
Question 2 of 5
What must you always use in all math?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: PEMDAS. PEMDAS stands for the order of operations: Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division (left to right), Addition and Subtraction (left to right). It is a fundamental rule to follow in mathematics to ensure calculations are done correctly.
Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not encompass the essential rule that PEMDAS provides for solving mathematical expressions.
Question 3 of 5
Gordon purchased a television that was 30% off its original price of $472. What was the sale price?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale:
To find the sale price after a 30% discount, you first calculate the discount amount which is 30% of $472. 30% of $472 is $141.60.
To find the sale price, you subtract the discount amount from the original price: $472 - $141.60 = $330.40.
Therefore, the sale price of the television after a 30% discount would be $330.40.
Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not accurately reflect the calculated sale price after the discount.
Question 4 of 5
How many pints are in a gallon?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: 8 pints. In the U.S. customary system, there are 8 pints in a gallon. This conversion is essential to know for various activities like cooking, measuring liquids, or understanding container volumes.
Choice A, 2 pints, is incorrect as it represents half a gallon.
Choice B, 4 pints, is incorrect as it represents a half-gallon or a quart.
Choice D, 16 pints, is incorrect as it represents two gallons.
Therefore, the correct answer is C, 8 pints.
Question 5 of 5
Can a rational number be a fraction or decimal, or must it be a whole number?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C. A rational number can be a whole number, fraction, or decimal. A rational number is any number that can be expressed as a ratio of two integers (where the denominator is not zero), which includes whole numbers, fractions, and decimals.
Choice A is incorrect because rational numbers are not limited to being whole numbers.
Choice B is incorrect because a rational number can be a fraction, decimal, or whole number.
Choice D is incorrect because rational numbers can definitely be decimals, as long as the decimal representation is either terminating or repeating.
