TEAS Math Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
As part of a study, a set of patients will be divided into three groups: 1/2 of the patients will be in Group Alpha, 1/3 of the patients will be in Group Beta, and 1/6 of the patients will be in Group Gamma. Order the groups from smallest to largest, according to the number of patients in each group.
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct order from smallest to largest number of patients in each group is Group Gamma (1/6), Group Alpha (1/2), and Group Beta (1/3). Group Gamma has the smallest fraction of patients, followed by Group Alpha and then Group Beta. Therefore, choice C, 'Group Gamma, Group Alpha, Group Beta,' is the correct answer. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not follow the correct order based on the fractions of patients assigned to each group.
Question 2 of 5
In a city with a population of 51,623, 9.5% of the population voted for a new proposition. How many people approximately voted?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: To find the number of people who voted, you need to calculate 9.5% of the total population of 51,623. 9.5% of 51,623 is approximately 0.095 x 51,623 = 4,999.85, which is rounded to approximately 5,000 people. Therefore, the correct answer is 5,000 people. Choice A, 3,000 people, is incorrect as it is lower than the calculated value. Choice C, 7,000 people, is incorrect as it is higher than the calculated value. Choice D, 10,000 people, is incorrect as it is much higher than the calculated value.
Question 3 of 5
A study was conducted where patients were divided into three groups: 1/2 in Group Alpha, 1/3 in Group Beta, and 1/6 in Group Gamma. Which group is the smallest?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The smallest group is Group Gamma, which had 1/6 of the total number of patients. To determine the smallest group, compare the fractions representing the portions of patients in each group. 1/6 is smaller than 1/3 and 1/2, making Group Gamma the smallest. Group Alpha and Group Beta have larger fractions of patients, making them larger groups compared to Group Gamma.
Question 4 of 5
A person drives 300 miles at 60 mph, then another 200 miles at 80 mph, with a 30-minute break. How long does the trip take?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: To find the total time, we calculate the time taken for each segment: 300 miles at 60 mph = 300 miles · 60 mph = 5 hours; 200 miles at 80 mph = 200 miles · 80 mph = 2.5 hours. Adding these gives 5 hours + 2.5 hours = 7.5 hours. Converting the 30-minute break to hours (30 minutes · 60 = 0.5 hours), the total time taken is 7.5 hours + 0.5 hours = 8 hours. Therefore, the correct answer is not among the given choices. The rationale provided in the original question is incorrect as it does not account for the break time and has a calculation error in adding the individual times.
Question 5 of 5
If you pull an orange block from a bag of 3 orange, 5 green, and 4 purple blocks, what is the probability of consecutively pulling two more orange blocks without replacement?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: To calculate the probability of pulling two more orange blocks consecutively without replacement after the initial orange block is pulled, we need to multiply the probabilities. After the first orange block is pulled, there are 2 orange blocks left out of a total of 11 blocks remaining. So, the probability of pulling a second orange block is 2/11. Therefore, the overall probability is (3/12) * (2/11) = 3/55. Choice A (1/12) is incorrect because it only considers the probability of the first orange block being pulled. Choice C (1/55) is incorrect as it represents the probability of pulling two orange blocks in a row, not the consecutive pulls after the initial pull. Choice D (2/33) is incorrect as it does not reflect the correct calculation for the consecutive pulls of orange blocks.
