TEAS Test Math Questions - Nurselytic

Correct Answer: A

Rationale:
To multiply fractions, you multiply the numerators to get the new numerator and multiply the denominators to get the new denominator.
Therefore, multiplying 2/3 by 3/4 results in (2*3) / (3*4) = 6/12. Simplifying 6/12 by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 6 gives 1. Hence, the correct answer is 1.

Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not represent the correct product of multiplying 2/3 by 3/4.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale:
To convert liters to kiloliters, divide by 1000 since there are 1000 liters in a kiloliter.
Therefore, 147 liters = 0.147 kiloliters.
Choice B is incorrect as it incorrectly moves the decimal point.

Choices C and D are significantly larger than the correct answer, indicating an incorrect conversion factor used.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The absolute value of x is equal to 10 when x is either -10 or 10.
Therefore, the correct answer is A.

Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not satisfy the equation |x| = 10. For choice B, -11 and 11 do not satisfy the condition.

Choices C and D also do not provide solutions that meet the equation's requirement.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale:
To find the total pounds of apples Eric buys, you need to multiply the pounds of apples bought each week (5 1/2 pounds) by the number of weeks (4 weeks). When you multiply 5 1/2 by 4, you get 22 pounds.
Therefore, the correct answer is A.

Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately calculate the total pounds purchased over the four weeks.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale:
To find the value of x in each proportion, cross multiply. For proportion A, x = 4; for B, x = 8; for C, x = 6; and for D, x = 10. Hence, proportion D yields a different value for x compared to the others.

Choices A, B, and C all result in unique values for x, but these values are distinct from the value obtained in proportion D.
