TEAS Test Math Prep Questions
Question 1 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 2 of 5
A school has 15 teachers and 20 teaching assistants. They have 200 students. What is the ratio of faculty to students?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The total number of faculty members is 15 teachers + 20 teaching assistants = 35. The ratio of faculty to students is then 35:200, which simplifies to 7:40. Further simplifying by dividing both numbers by 5 gives the ratio 4:20, which can be simplified to 4:17.
Therefore, the correct ratio is 4:17.
Choices A, C, and D are incorrect ratios and do not match the calculated ratio of faculty members to students in this scenario.
Question 3 of 5
What is the sixth number in the sequence 5, 6, 7, 8, 9?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: In the given sequence 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, the sixth number would come after 9, not after the fifth number in the sequence.
To find the sixth number, we need to continue the pattern after 9. The next number after 9 would be 10, making it the sixth number in the sequence.
Therefore, the correct answer is not listed among the choices provided.
Choice A, 8, is the fifth number in the sequence.
Choice B, 10, is the number right after the sixth number.
Choice D, 12, is not in the sequence at all, making it incorrect. Thus, the correct answer is 11.
Question 4 of 5
Juan wishes to compare the percentages of time he spends on different tasks during the workday. Which of the following representations is the most appropriate choice for displaying the data?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: A pie chart is the most appropriate choice for displaying the percentages of time spent on different tasks during the workday because it visually represents parts of a whole. In this case, each task's percentage represents a part of the entire workday, making a pie chart an ideal way to compare these percentages. Line plots, bar graphs, and line graphs are not suitable for showing percentages of a whole; they are more commonly used for tracking trends, comparing values, or showing relationships between variables but do not efficiently represent parts of a whole like a pie chart does.
Question 5 of 5
A student gets an 85% on a test with 20 questions. How many answers did the student solve correctly?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale:
To determine the number of questions the student solved correctly, we need to calculate 85% of the total number of questions. This can be done by multiplying the total number of questions by 85%, which is 20 questions x 85% = 20 x 0.85 = 17 questions.
Therefore, the student solved 17 questions correctly.
Choice A, 15, is incorrect as it does not reflect the correct percentage of questions solved.
Choice B, 16, and
Choice D, 18, are also incorrect as they do not match the calculation based on the given percentage.
