TEAS Math Practice Test Questions
Question 1 of 5
How is the number -4 classified?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The number -4 is classified as a real number because it exists on the number line. It is also a rational number since it can be expressed as -4/1. Additionally, -4 is an integer because it is a whole number that can be positive, negative, or zero. However, -4 is not a whole number because whole numbers are non-negative integers starting from zero. Similarly, -4 is not a natural number since natural numbers are positive integers starting from one.
Therefore, the correct classification for the number -4 is real, rational, and integer, making option C the correct answer.
Question 2 of 5
Five of six numbers have a sum of 25. The average of all six numbers is 6. What is the sixth number?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale:
To find the sum of all six numbers, we multiply the average (6) by the total numbers (6), which equals 36. Since the sum of five numbers is 25, the sixth number can be found by subtracting the sum of five numbers from the total sum: 36 - 25 = 11.
Therefore, the sixth number is 11.
Choice A, 8, is incorrect because adding 8 to the sum of five numbers (25) would result in a total greater than the correct sum of all six numbers (36).
Choice B, 10, is incorrect because adding 10 to the sum of five numbers (25) would also result in a total greater than the correct sum of all six numbers (36).
Choice D, 12, is incorrect because adding 12 to the sum of five numbers (25) would exceed the correct sum of all six numbers (36).
Question 3 of 5
4.67 miles is equivalent to how many kilometers to three significant digits?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale:
To convert miles to kilometers, we use the conversion factor of 1 mile ≈ 1.60934 km.
Therefore, 4.67 miles * 1.60934 km/mile = 7.514 km. When rounded to three significant digits, the answer is 7.51 km.
Choice A of 7.514 km is the correct conversion, but the question asked for the answer to be rounded to three significant digits, making choice B, 7.51 km, the most precise and correct option.
Choices C and D are incorrect conversions and do not match the correct conversion of 4.67 miles to kilometers.
Question 4 of 5
If ð‘› = 8, then n is between which of the following ranges?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: In this question, we are given that ð‘› = 8 and we are asked to determine the range in which n lies. Since ð‘› = 8, we know that n is related to ð‘› by the equation n = ð‘› + 1. Plugging in ð‘› = 8, we find that n = 8 + 1 = 9.
Therefore, n is between 7 and 9, making option B the correct answer.
Option A (5 and 7) is incorrect because n is greater than 7.
Option C (9 and 11) is incorrect because n is not greater than 9.
Option D (3 and 5) is incorrect because n is greater than 5.
Educationally, this question tests the understanding of basic arithmetic operations and the concept of variables in mathematical equations. It requires students to apply the given information to solve for the unknown variable. By explaining the relationship between ð‘› and n, students can grasp the concept of substitution and solving equations. This question also reinforces the importance of careful calculation and attention to detail in mathematical problem-solving.
Question 5 of 5
A closet is filled with red, blue, and green shirts. If 1/4 of the shirts are green and 1/3 are red, what fraction of the shirts are blue?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Let the total number of shirts be x. Given that 1/4 of the shirts are green and 1/3 are red, we have Green = x/4 and Red = x/3.
To find the fraction of blue shirts, we subtract the fractions of green and red shirts from 1: Blue fraction = 1 - (1/4 + 1/3) = 1 - (3/12 + 4/12) = 1 - 7/12 = 5/12.
Therefore, the fraction of blue shirts is 5/12.
Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately represent the fraction of blue shirts given the information provided.
