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 product of two irrational numbers?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: 'Irrational or rational.' When you multiply two irrational numbers, the result can be either irrational or rational. For example, multiplying the square root of 2 (√2) by itself results in the rational number 2. This shows that the product of two irrational numbers can lead to a rational result.
Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because the product of two irrational numbers is not limited to being irrational; it can also be rational.
Question 3 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 4 of 5
What is the value of the sum of 0.75 and 0.625?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
Question 5 of 5
Four people split a bill. The first person pays 1/5, the second person pays 1/3, and the third person pays 1/12. What fraction of the bill does the fourth person pay?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale:
To find the fourth person's share, subtract the fractions paid by the first three people from the total bill (1). The first person pays 1/5, the second person pays 1/3, and the third person pays 1/12. Adding these fractions gives 7/15. Subtracting this from 1 gives the fourth person's share as 8/15, which simplifies to 4/5.
Therefore, the fourth person pays 4/5 of the bill. Option A (1/4) is incorrect because it does not consider the fractions paid by the first three people. Option B (13/60) is incorrect as it is not the remainder after subtracting the first three fractions from 1. Option D (1/4) is a duplicate of Option A and is also incorrect.
