TEAS Test Sample Math Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
At the beginning of the day, Xavier has 20 apples. At lunch, he meets his sister Emma and gives her half of his apples. After lunch, he stops by his neighbor Jim's house and gives him 6 of his apples. He then uses ¾ of his remaining apples to make an apple pie for dessert at dinner. At the end of the day, how many apples does Xavier have left?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Xavier starts with 20 apples. He gives half to Emma, leaving him with 10 apples. After giving 6 more to Jim, he has 4 apples left. Using ¾ of the remaining 4 apples for the pie leaves him with 1 apple at the end of the day.
Choice A is incorrect because it doesn't account for the apple pie Xavier made.
Choices B and C are incorrect as they don't reflect the correct calculations of apples remaining after each step.
Question 2 of 5
What is the value of the sum of 0.75 and 0.625?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Adding 0.75 and 0.625 gives: 0.75+0.625=1.375.
Question 3 of 5
What is the result of adding 1/6 and 1/2, expressed in reduced form?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale:
To add 1/6 and 1/2, you need a common denominator, which is 6. So, 1/6 + 3/6 = 4/6. Simplifying 4/6 gives 2/3, which is the correct answer (1/3).
Choices A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not represent the correct sum of the fractions 1/6 and 1/2.
Question 4 of 5
Divide 4/3 by 9/13 and reduce the fraction.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale:
To divide fractions, you multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction. So, (4/3) · (9/13) = (4/3) * (13/9) = 52/27. This fraction is already in its reduced form, making choice A the correct answer.
Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not represent the correct result of dividing the fractions 4/3 by 9/13.
Question 5 of 5
Round to the nearest tenth: 8.067.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: When rounding a number to the nearest tenth, you look at the digit in the hundredths place. Since 8.067 has a 6 in the hundredths place, which is equal to or greater than 5, you round the tenths place up by 1.
Therefore, rounding 8.067 to the nearest tenth gives 8.07.
Choice B (8.1) would be incorrect because 8.067 is closer to 8.1 than to 8, but it's not quite there.
Choice C (8) is incorrect as it would be rounding down, and
Choice D (8.11) is incorrect as it is rounding to the nearest hundredth, not the nearest tenth.
