TEAS Practice Test Math Questions
Question 1 of 5
What is the result when the number 1 is raised to ANY power?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'One.' When the number 1 is raised to any power, the result is always 1. This is a fundamental mathematical property where any number raised to the power of 0 equals 1.
Choices B, C, and D are incorrect.
Choice B 'Itself' is vague and does not provide a clear mathematical result.
Choice C 'Zero' is incorrect as 1 raised to any power is not zero.
Choice D 'Two' is incorrect as the result of raising 1 to any power is always 1, not 2.
Question 2 of 5
What defines a composite number?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: A composite number is a positive integer greater than one that has more than two factors.
Choice A is incorrect because a number with only two factors is a prime number.
Choice B is incorrect as being a fraction does not define a composite number.
Choice D is incorrect because a number with exactly two factors is a prime number, not a composite number.
Question 3 of 5
An athlete runs 5 miles in 25 minutes and then changes pace to run the next 3 miles in 15 minutes. Overall, what is the average time in minutes it takes the athlete to run 1 mile?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale:
To find the average time per mile, add the total time taken to cover all miles and then divide by the total miles run. The athlete ran 5 miles in 25 minutes and 3 miles in 15 minutes, totaling 8 miles in 40 minutes.
Therefore, the average time per mile is 40 minutes · 8 miles = 5 minutes.
Choice A, 7 minutes, is incorrect as it does not reflect the correct average time per mile.
Choice C, 6.5 minutes, is incorrect since the calculation is not based on the given information.
Choice D, 8.5 minutes, is incorrect as it does not represent the average time per mile for the entire run.
Question 4 of 5
There are 800 students enrolled in four allied health programs at a local community college. The percentage of students in each program is displayed in the pie chart. What is the number of students enrolled in the respiratory care program?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale:
To find the number of students enrolled in the respiratory care program, you need to calculate 19% of 800. 19% of 800 is (19/100) * 800 = 152 students.
Therefore, the correct answer is B.
Choice A (336),
Choice C (144), and
Choice D (168) are incorrect as they do not represent the correct percentage of students enrolled in the respiratory care program as indicated by the pie chart.
Question 5 of 5
What is the least common multiple? What is the least common factor?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The least common multiple is the smallest number that both numbers multiply into, which means it is the smallest number that both numbers can be evenly divided by without leaving a remainder. The least common factor, on the other hand, is the smallest number that divides both numbers without leaving a remainder.
Therefore, choice A is correct as it accurately defines the least common multiple and factor.
Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they provide inaccurate definitions or mix up the concepts of multiplication and division in relation to finding the least common multiple and factor.
