TEAS Test Math Prep Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which of the following numbers has the greatest value?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale:
To determine the number with the greatest value among the options, focus on the digit in the tenths place. In this case, 1.07548 has the highest value as it has the digit 7 in the tenths place. Comparing this to the other numbers, 1.4378, 1.43592, and 0.89409 have 4, 3, and 8 in the tenths place, respectively.
Therefore, 1.07548 is the number with the greatest value as it has the highest digit in the tenths place.
Question 2 of 5
If Sarah reads at an average rate of 21 pages in four nights, how long will it take her to read 140 pages?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: If Sarah reads 21 pages in four nights, she reads at a rate of 21 / 4 = 5.25 pages per night.
To read 140 pages, she would need 140 / 5.25 = 26.67 nights. Since she cannot read a fraction of a night, it would take her 27 nights to read 140 pages, making option D the correct answer. Option A is incorrect as it does not accurately reflect the calculation. Option B is incorrect as it does not consider the fractional part of the calculation, resulting in an inaccurate answer. Option C is incorrect as it does not align with the correct calculation based on Sarah's reading rate.
Question 3 of 5
Which of the following numbers is the largest?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Among the provided options, 0.45 is the largest number.
To determine the largest number, compare the decimal values directly. 0.45 is greater than 0.313, 0.3, and 0.096.
Therefore, 0.45 is the correct answer.
Choice B (0.096) is the smallest as it has the lowest decimal value.
Choice C (0.3) is greater than 0.096 but smaller than both 0.313 and 0.45.
Choice D (0.313) is greater than 0.3 and 0.096 but smaller than 0.45, making it incorrect.
Question 4 of 5
When rounding 2678 to the nearest thousandth, which place value would be used to decide whether to round up or round down?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: When rounding 2678 to the nearest thousandth, you would look at the digit in the thousandth place, which is 7.
To decide whether to round up or down, you consider the digit to the immediate right of the place you are rounding to. Since 7 is equal to or greater than 5, you round up.
Choice A, ten-thousandth, is incorrect as we are rounding to the thousandth place.
Choice C, hundredth, is not relevant as we are not rounding to that place value.
Choice D, thousand, is incorrect as it is the original number being rounded, not the place value used for rounding.
Question 5 of 5
Solve for x: 3(x - 5) = 2(x + 3)
Correct Answer: A
Rationale:
To solve the equation 3(x - 5) = 2(x + 3) for x, start by distributing the terms inside the parentheses. This gives you 3x - 15 = 2x + 6. Next, combine like terms by moving all terms with x to one side and the constants to the other side. Subtracting 2x from both sides gives x - 15 = 6. Finally, adding 15 to both sides results in x = 21.
Therefore, the correct answer is A: x = 3.
Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not result from the correct calculations of the equation.
