TEAS Math Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
If you have a rectangle with a width of 5 inches and a length of 10 inches and scale it by a factor of 2, what will the new perimeter be?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: When a rectangle is scaled by a factor of 2, both the length and width are multiplied by 2. The new dimensions become width = 5 * 2 = 10 inches and length = 10 * 2 = 20 inches. Therefore, the new perimeter is calculated as 2 * (10 + 20) = 60 inches. Choice A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not reflect the correct calculation based on scaling the dimensions of the rectangle.
Question 2 of 5
A student scores 85% on a test with 50 questions. How many questions did the student answer correctly?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: To find the number of questions answered correctly, you multiply the percentage (85%) by the total number of questions (50). 85% of 50 questions is 0.85 * 50 = 43 questions answered correctly. Therefore, the correct answer is 43 questions. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not reflect the accurate calculation based on the given information.
Question 3 of 5
The length of a rectangle is 3 times its width. If the width is 4 inches, what is the perimeter of the rectangle?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To find the perimeter of a rectangle, you add up all its sides. Given that the width is 4 inches and the length is 3 times the width (3 * 4 = 12 inches), the perimeter formula is 2 * (length + width). Substituting the values, we get 2 * (12 + 4) = 2 * 16 = 32 inches. Therefore, the correct answer is 32 inches. Choices B, C, and A are incorrect because they do not reflect the correct calculation of the rectangle's perimeter.
Question 4 of 5
A car travels 60 miles in 1 hour. How long will it take to travel 180 miles at the same speed?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To find the time needed to travel 180 miles at the same speed of 60 miles per hour, you divide the total distance by the speed. 180 miles · 60 mph = 3 hours. Therefore, it will take 3 hours to travel 180 miles at the given speed. Choice B, 4 hours, is incorrect as it does not align with the calculation. Choice C, 2.5 hours, is incorrect as it underestimates the time needed for the distance. Choice D, 5 hours, is incorrect as it overestimates the time required based on the given speed.
Question 5 of 5
In a class of 30 students, with 60% boys and 40% girls, how many girls are in the class?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: To find the number of girls in the class, we need to calculate 40% of the total number of students, which is 30. 40% of 30 is 0.40 * 30 = 12 girls. Therefore, there are 12 girls in the class. Choice A, 18 girls, is incorrect as it miscalculates the percentage. Choice C, 15 girls, is incorrect as it misrepresents the correct calculation. Choice D, 10 girls, is incorrect as it underestimates the number of girls in the class.
