TEAS Test Practice Math Questions
Question 1 of 5
If 35% of a paycheck is deducted for taxes and 4% for insurance, what is the total percent taken out of the paycheck?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: When 35% is deducted for taxes and 4% for insurance, the total percentage taken out of the paycheck is 35% + 4% = 39%. Therefore, the correct answer is 39%, which corresponds to option C. Option A (20%) is incorrect because it does not account for the total deductions. Option B (31%) is incorrect as it does not sum up the percentages correctly. Option D (42%) is incorrect as it overestimates the total deductions.
Question 2 of 5
A woman wants to stack two small bookcases beneath a window that is 26 inches from the floor. The larger bookcase is 14 inches tall. The other bookcase is 8 inches tall. How tall will the two bookcases be when they are stacked together?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: When the woman stacks the two bookcases together, the total height will be the sum of the heights of the two bookcases. Therefore, 14 inches (larger bookcase) + 8 inches (smaller bookcase) = 22 inches. So, the stacked bookcases will be 22 inches tall. Choice A is incorrect because it does not account for the total height of both bookcases. Choice C and D are incorrect as they are higher than the combined height of the two bookcases.
Question 3 of 5
Which of the following describes a real-world situation that could be modeled by?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: In the given situation, Courtney charges a $12 fee plus $2 per hour to babysit, represented by the equation: 12 + 2h where h is the number of hours. Kendra charges a $10 fee plus $5 per hour, represented by the equation: 10 + 5h. To find the number of hours for which the two charges are equal, we set the two equations equal to each other: 12 + 2h = 10 + 5h. Solving for h gives h = 2. This means that the charges are equal after 2 hours of babysitting. Choice B is incorrect because the fee and hourly rates for Courtney and Kendra are reversed, leading to an incorrect equation. Choices C and D are incorrect as they do not accurately represent the given scenario of fees and hourly rates for babysitting by Courtney and Kendra.
Question 4 of 5
Adrian measures the circumference of a circular picture frame with a radius of 3 inches. Which of the following is the best estimate for the circumference of the frame?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The circumference of a circle is given by the formula Circumference = 2 x π x radius. Given that the radius of the picture frame is 3 inches, the estimated circumference can be calculated as 2 x π x 3 = 18.84 inches, which is closest to 18 inches among the given options. Choice A (12 inches) is too small, choice B (16 inches) is also underestimated, and choice D (24 inches) is too large based on the calculated value using the formula.
Question 5 of 5
What is the simplest way to write the following expression? 5x - 2y + 4x + y
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To simplify the given expression 5x - 2y + 4x + y, we combine like terms. Grouping the x terms together and the y terms together, we have 5x + 4x - 2y + y. Combining like terms results in 9x - y. Therefore, the simplest form of the expression is 9x - y, which corresponds to option A. Option B is incorrect because it incorrectly subtracts 3y instead of just y. Option C is incorrect because it adds 3y instead of subtracting y. Option D is incorrect as it separates x and y with a semicolon instead of an operation, providing no simplified expression.
