TEAS Test Practice Math Questions
Question 1 of 5
What is the square root of 1296?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The square root of 1296 is 36 because 36 multiplied by 36 equals 1296.
Therefore, the correct answer is 36.
Choices A, C, and D are incorrect. A (24) is not the square root of 1296 because 24 multiplied by 24 is 576, not 1296. C (31) is also incorrect as 31 multiplied by 31 is 961, not 1296. D (12) is not the square root of 1296 as 12 multiplied by 12 equals 144, not 1296.
Question 2 of 5
Prizes are to be awarded to the best pupils in each class of an elementary school. The number of students in each grade is shown in the table, and the school principal wants the number of prizes awarded in each grade to be proportional to the number of students. If there are twenty prizes, how many should go to fifth-grade students? Grade 1 2 3 4 5 Students 35 38 38 33 36
Correct Answer: C
Rationale:
To determine how many prizes should be awarded to 5th-grade students, we need to set up the proportion of the number of 5th-grade students to the total number of students in the school. The total number of students is 35 + 38 + 38 + 33 + 36 = 180 students.
To find the proportion of 5th-grade students, it would be 36/180 = 0.2. Since there are 20 prizes to be awarded, multiplying 0.2 by 20 gives us 4, which means 4 prizes should go to the 5th-grade students.
Therefore, the correct answer is 4.
Choice A (5) is incorrect as it does not align with the proportional distribution.
Choice B (4) is the correct answer, as calculated.
Choice C (7) is incorrect as it exceeds the total number of prizes available.
Choice D (3) is incorrect as it does not match the proportional distribution based on the number of students.
Question 3 of 5
If he pays $270 per month in rent, how much money does he put into his house savings account each month?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is $90. If he pays $270 per month in rent and saves a total of $360 per month, he puts $360 - $270 = $90 into his house savings account each month.
Choice B ($270) is incorrect as this amount represents the rent paid, not the amount saved.
Choices C ($730) and D ($810) are both significantly higher than the correct amount of $90, making them incorrect as they do not align with the given information in the question.
Question 4 of 5
Solve the following equation: 3(2y+50)−4y=500
Correct Answer: B
Rationale:
To solve the equation 3(2y+50)−4y=500, first distribute to get 6y+150−4y=500. Combining like terms results in 2y + 150 = 500. By subtracting 150 from both sides, we get 2y = 350. Dividing by 2 gives y = 175.
Therefore, the correct answer is B.
Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not correctly follow the steps of distributing, combining like terms, and isolating the variable to solve for y.
Question 5 of 5
Which of the following describes a real-world situation that could be modeled by?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: In the given situation, Courtney charges a $12 fee plus $2 per hour to babysit, represented by the equation: 12 + 2h where h is the number of hours. Kendra charges a $10 fee plus $5 per hour, represented by the equation: 10 + 5h.
To find the number of hours for which the two charges are equal, we set the two equations equal to each other: 12 + 2h = 10 + 5h. Solving for h gives h = 2. This means that the charges are equal after 2 hours of babysitting.
Choice B is incorrect because the fee and hourly rates for Courtney and Kendra are reversed, leading to an incorrect equation.
Choices C and D are incorrect as they do not accurately represent the given scenario of fees and hourly rates for babysitting by Courtney and Kendra.
