TEAS Math Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
In a city with a population of 51,623, 9.5% of the population voted for a new proposition. How many people approximately voted?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale:
To find the number of people who voted, you need to calculate 9.5% of the total population of 51,623. 9.5% of 51,623 is approximately 0.095 x 51,623 = 4,999.85, which is rounded to approximately 5,000 people.
Therefore, the correct answer is 5,000 people.
Choice A, 3,000 people, is incorrect as it is lower than the calculated value.
Choice C, 7,000 people, is incorrect as it is higher than the calculated value.
Choice D, 10,000 people, is incorrect as it is much higher than the calculated value.
Question 2 of 5
There are 20 mg of acetaminophen in concentrated infant drops. If the proper dosage for a four-year-old child is 240 mg, how many milliliters should the child receive?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale:
To find the correct dosage in milliliters, divide the total required dosage in milligrams (240 mg) by the concentration of the medication in milligrams per milliliter (20 mg/mL). This calculation yields 12 mL, which is the recommended volume for the child.
Choice A, 0.8 mL, is incorrect as it does not correspond to the correct dosage.
Choice B, 1.6 mL, is incorrect because it also does not match the calculated dosage.
Choice D, 3.2 mL, is incorrect as it is not the accurate result of the dosage calculation.
Therefore, the correct answer is C, 2.4 mL.
Question 3 of 5
What percentage of the staff is certified and available to work in the neonatal unit during the holiday if 35% are on vacation and 20% of the remainder are certified?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: After 35% of the staff are on vacation, 65% remain. Since 20% of the remaining staff are certified, you multiply 0.20 by 65% (0.20 * 65% = 0.13 or 13%).
Therefore, the correct answer is 0.13 or 13%.
Choices C and D are incorrect as they do not represent the correct calculation for the percentage of certified staff available.
Choice B is incorrect because it incorrectly states the calculated percentage as 0.13 instead of 0.07.
Question 4 of 5
A set of patients is divided into groups: 1/2 in Group Alpha, 1/3 in Group Beta, and 1/6 in Group Gamma. Order the groups from smallest to largest.
Correct Answer: C
Rationale:
To determine the order from smallest to largest groups, we look at the fractions representing the groups. Group Gamma has 1/6, which is the smallest fraction, followed by Group Alpha with 1/2, and Group Beta with 1/3 being the largest fraction. So, the correct order is Gamma, Alpha, Beta.
Choice A is incorrect because it lists Alpha, Beta, Gamma, which is the reverse order.
Choice B is incorrect as it lists Alpha, Gamma, Beta, which is also incorrect.
Choice D is incorrect as it lists Gamma, Beta, Alpha, which is not the correct order based on the fractions provided.
Question 5 of 5
University Q has an extremely competitive nursing program. Historically, 3/4 of the students in each incoming class major in nursing, but only 1/3 of those who major in nursing actually complete the program. If this year's incoming class has 100 students, how many students will complete the nursing program?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Out of 100 students, 3/4 major in nursing, which is 75 students (100 * 3/4 = 75). Among these 75 students, only 1/3 will complete the program.
Therefore, 1/3 of 75 is 25. Hence, 25 students will complete the nursing program.
Choice A (75) is incorrect because this represents the number of students majoring in nursing, not completing the program.
Choices B (20) and D (5) are incorrect as they do not align with the calculation based on the given fractions and total number of students.
