TEAS Test Sample Math Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
A closet is filled with red, blue, and green shirts. If 2/5 of the shirts are green and 1/3 are red, what fraction of the shirts are blue?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: To find the fraction of blue shirts, subtract the fractions of green and red shirts from 1. Green shirts are 2/5 and red shirts are 1/3, which sum up to 11/15. Therefore, blue shirts would be 1 - 11/15 = 4/15. So, the correct answer is 4/15. Choice A (4/15) is incorrect as it represents the overall fraction of green shirts. Choice B (1/5) is incorrect as it does not account for the fractions of green and red shirts. Choice D (1/2) is incorrect as it does not consider the given fractions of green and red shirts.
Question 2 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.
Question 3 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 4 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 5 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.
