TEAS Math Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
A student scores 85% on a test with 50 questions. How many questions did the student answer correctly?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: To find the number of questions answered correctly, you multiply the percentage (85%) by the total number of questions (50). 85% of 50 questions is 0.85 * 50 = 43 questions answered correctly. Therefore, the correct answer is 43 questions. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not reflect the accurate calculation based on the given information.
Question 2 of 5
A car travels 60 miles in 1 hour. How long will it take to travel 180 miles at the same speed?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To find the time needed to travel 180 miles at the same speed of 60 miles per hour, you divide the total distance by the speed. 180 miles · 60 mph = 3 hours. Therefore, it will take 3 hours to travel 180 miles at the given speed. Choice B, 4 hours, is incorrect as it does not align with the calculation. Choice C, 2.5 hours, is incorrect as it underestimates the time needed for the distance. Choice D, 5 hours, is incorrect as it overestimates the time required based on the given speed.
Question 3 of 5
In a class of 30 students, with 60% boys and 40% girls, how many girls are in the class?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: To find the number of girls in the class, we need to calculate 40% of the total number of students, which is 30. 40% of 30 is 0.40 * 30 = 12 girls. Therefore, there are 12 girls in the class. Choice A, 18 girls, is incorrect as it miscalculates the percentage. Choice C, 15 girls, is incorrect as it misrepresents the correct calculation. Choice D, 10 girls, is incorrect as it underestimates the number of girls in the class.
Question 4 of 5
A store offers a 15% discount on all items. If an item costs $100, what is the price after the discount?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: To calculate the price after the 15% discount on a $100 item, you first find 15% of $100, which is $15. Then, subtract $15 from the original price: $100 - $15 = $85. Therefore, the correct answer is $85. Choice A ($90), Choice C ($80), and Choice D ($75) are incorrect as they do not reflect the correct calculation of applying a 15% discount to the original $100 price.
Question 5 of 5
If a person spends 1/4 of their day sleeping, how many hours do they spend sleeping?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To calculate the number of hours a person spends sleeping when 1/4 of the day is spent sleeping, you need to find 1/4 of 24 hours. 1/4 of 24 hours is 6 hours, so the correct answer is A. Choice B (8 hours) is incorrect because it does not correspond to 1/4 of a day. Choice C (4 hours) is incorrect as it is half of the correct answer. Choice D (5 hours) is incorrect as it does not match the calculation for 1/4 of a day.
