Math Practice TEAS Test Questions
Question 1 of 5
If Stella's current weight is 56 kilograms, what is her approximate weight in pounds?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To convert kilograms to pounds, you multiply the weight in kilograms by 2.2. So, 56 kilograms * 2.2 = 123.2 pounds, which can be approximated to 123 pounds. Therefore, Choice A is correct. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not match the correct conversion from kilograms to pounds for Stella's weight of 56 kilograms.
Question 2 of 5
Erma has her eye on two sweaters, one for $50 and one for $44. With a sale of 25% off the cheaper item, what will she spend?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Erma pays full price for the $50 sweater and gets 25% off the $44 sweater. 25% of $44 is $11, so she pays $33 for the second sweater. Therefore, the total amount Erma spends is $50 (first sweater) + $33 (second sweater) = $79. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not correctly calculate the total amount Erma would spend on both sweaters.
Question 3 of 5
A woman wants to stack two bookcases, one 32.75 inches tall and another 17.25 inches tall. How tall will they be when stacked together?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: To find the total height of the stacked bookcases, you need to add the heights of the two bookcases: 32.75 inches + 17.25 inches = 50 inches. Therefore, the correct answer is 50 inches. Choice A (49.5 inches) is incorrect as it does not consider rounding off the total height. Choices C (48 inches) and D (51 inches) are incorrect as they do not accurately calculate the sum of the heights of the two bookcases.
Question 4 of 5
Four more than a number is 2 less than 5\6 of another number. Which equation represents this?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: In this math problem, the correct equation is A) x + 4 = 5/6y - 2. To understand why this is the right answer, let's break down the problem. The statement "Four more than a number is 2 less than 5/6 of another number" translates to x + 4 = 5/6y - 2. Now, let's analyze why the other options are incorrect: B) x + 4 = 2 - 5/6y: This equation does not correctly represent the relationship described in the problem. C) 4 + x = 5/6y + 2: This equation incorrectly rearranges the terms and does not match the original statement. D) x + 4 = 5/6y - 2: This equation incorrectly places the constant term before the variable term on the right side of the equation, leading to an incorrect representation. Educationally, understanding how to translate word problems into equations is crucial in math. By dissecting the problem statement and identifying key relationships, students can accurately represent the information given. This question also tests students' ability to manipulate algebraic expressions and solve equations, skills essential for success in higher-level math and standardized tests like the TEAS.
Question 5 of 5
Margery plans a vacation with costs for airfare, hotel (5 nights), sightseeing, and meals. If she receives a 10% discount on additional hotel nights, what will she spend?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To calculate Margery's total cost, we first need to find the cost without the discount. Let's say the original cost is x. With a 10% discount, she saves 10% of the cost of additional hotel nights. Since she is staying for 5 nights, the discount applies to 4 additional nights (5 - 1 night already included). Therefore, she saves 10% of 4 nights' cost. If x is the cost of 1 night, the total cost without discount is 5x. With the 10% discount, she saves 0.1 * 4x = 0.4x. So, the cost after discount is 5x - 0.4x = 4.6x. Given that the total cost is 5x for 5 nights, we can equate 5x to 4.6x to find x. Solving for x, we get x = Total cost / 5 = 5x / 5 = 4.6x / 5. Therefore, x = 4.6x / 5, which simplifies to x = 0.92 * 5x. This means 1 night's cost is 0.92 times the total cost for 5 nights. Given the total cost is $1328.35, we find the cost for 1 night is $1328.35 / 5 = $265.67. So, Margery will spend $1328.35 for her vacation.
