TEAS Test Math Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
If a tree grows an average of 4.2 inches in a day, what is the rate of change in its height per month? Assume a month is 30 days.
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The tree grows at an average rate of 4.2 inches per day. To find the rate of change per month, multiply the daily growth rate by the number of days in a month (30 days): 4.2 inches/day 30 days = 126 inches per month. Therefore, the rate of change in the tree's height is 126 inches per month, making option D the correct answer. Option A is incorrect because it miscalculates the rate based on daily growth. Option B is incorrect as it doesn't account for the total days in a month. Option C is incorrect as it overestimates the monthly growth rate.
Question 2 of 5
A sign stating 'Do Not Enter' is in the shape of a square with side lengths of 75 centimeters. What is the area in square centimeters?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The formula for the area of a square is given by the square of its side length: Area = side side. For this problem, the side length of the square is 75 centimeters. To find the area, you multiply 75 by itself: 75 75 = 5,625 square centimeters. Thus, the area of the square is 5,625 cm². This shows that option D is correct. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not correspond to the correct calculation of the area of a square with a side length of 75 centimeters.
Question 3 of 5
Jayden rides his bike for 5/8 miles. He takes a break and rides another 3/4 miles. How many miles does he ride?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To find the total distance Jayden rides, you need to add the fractions 5/8 + 3/4. To add these fractions, you must ensure they have a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator is 8. So, 5/8 + 3/4 = 5/8 + 6/8 = 11/8. Since 11/8 can be simplified to 1 3/8, Jayden rides a total of 1 3/8 miles. Choice B (1 1/2 miles), Choice C (1 7/8 miles), and Choice D (2 miles) are incorrect as they do not accurately represent the total distance calculated by adding the two fractions, which is 1 3/8 miles.
Question 4 of 5
Eric buys 5 1/2 pounds of apples each week for four weeks. How many total pounds does he buy?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To find the total pounds of apples Eric buys, you need to multiply the pounds of apples bought each week (5 1/2 pounds) by the number of weeks (4 weeks). When you multiply 5 1/2 by 4, you get 22 pounds. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately calculate the total pounds purchased over the four weeks.
Question 5 of 5
A piece of wood that is 7 1/2 feet long has 3 1/4 feet cut off. How many feet of wood remain?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To find the remaining length of wood, you need to subtract 3 1/4 feet from 7 1/2 feet. When you subtract the fractions, 7 1/2 - 3 1/4, you get 15/2 - 13/4 = 30/4 - 13/4 = 17/4 = 4 1/4 feet. Therefore, the correct answer is 4 1/4 feet. Choice B (4 1/2 feet) is incorrect because the subtraction result is not 1/2. Choice C (3 1/2 feet) is incorrect as it does not match the correct result of 4 1/4 feet. Choice D (3 3/4 feet) is also incorrect as it does not align with the correct answer obtained from the subtraction of fractions.
