TEAS Test Math Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
Evaluate the expression -3 x 5.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A, which is -15. When you multiply -3 by 5, you get -15. The negative sign in front of the 3 indicates a negative value, and when multiplied by a positive number like 5, the result remains negative. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not reflect the correct multiplication of -3 and 5.
Question 2 of 5
Find the area in square centimeters of a circle with a diameter of 16 centimeters. Use 3.14 for π.
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The formula for the area of a circle is: Area = π x (radius²). Given: Diameter = 16 cm, so Radius = Diameter / 2 = 16 / 2 = 8 cm. Now, calculate the area using π = 3.14: Area = 3.14 x (8²) = 3.14 x 64 = 200.96 cm². The correct answer is D (200.96 cm²) as it correctly calculates the area of the circle. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not represent the accurate area of the circle based on the given diameter and π value.
Question 3 of 5
Half of a circular garden with a radius of 11.5 feet needs weeding. Find the area in square feet that needs weeding. Round to the nearest hundredth. Use 3.14 for π.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The area of a circle is given by the formula A = π r², where r is the radius. Since only half of the garden needs weeding, we calculate half the area. Using the given value of π (3.14) and a radius of 11.5 feet: A = 0.5 3.14 (11.5)² A = 0.5 3.14 132.25 A = 0.5 415.27 A = 207.64 square feet. Thus, the area that needs weeding is approximately 207.64 square feet, making option B the correct answer. Choice A (207.64) is incorrect as it represents the total area of the circular garden, not just half of it. Choice C (519.08) and Choice D (726.73) are also incorrect as they do not reflect the correct calculation for finding the area of half the circular garden.
Question 4 of 5
Half of a circular garden with a radius of 11.5 feet needs weeding. Find the area in square feet that needs weeding. Round to the nearest hundredth. Use 3.14 for π.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The formula for the area of a full circle is calculated as Area = π (radius²). When finding the area of half a circle, we multiply by 0.5. Thus, the formula becomes Area = 0.5 π (radius²). Given that the radius of the circular garden is 11.5 feet, the calculation using π = 3.14 is as follows: Area = 0.5 3.14 (11.5²) = 0.5 3.14 132.25 = 0.5 415.27 = 207.64 square feet. Therefore, the correct answer is B. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not reflect the correct calculation for finding the area of half a circular garden with a radius of 11.5 feet.
Question 5 of 5
Write 290% as a fraction.
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: To convert a percentage to a fraction, you write the percentage as the numerator of the fraction over 100. Therefore, 290% is equivalent to 290/100, which simplifies to 29/10. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not represent 290% as a fraction by placing the percentage value over 100.
