TEAS 7 Math Practice Test Questions
Question 1 of 5
Robert is planning to drive 1,800 miles on a cross-country trip. If his car gets 30 miles per gallon and his tank holds 12 gallons of gas, how many tanks of gas will he need to complete the trip?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: To find out how many tanks of gas Robert needs for the 1,800-mile trip, first, we calculate the distance his car can travel on a full tank: 30 miles per gallon 12 gallons = 360 miles per tank. Next, divide the total trip distance by the distance per tank: 1,800 miles · 360 miles per tank = 5 tanks. Therefore, Robert will need 5 tanks of gas to complete the cross-country trip. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not accurately calculate the number of tanks needed based on the given information.
Question 2 of 5
As part of a study, a set of patients will be divided into three groups. 4/15 of the patients will be in Group Alpha, 2/5 in Group Beta, and 1/3 in Group Gamma. Order the groups from smallest to largest, according to the number of patients in each group.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct order is Group Alpha, Group Gamma, Group Beta based on the common denominators of the fractions. To determine the order from smallest to largest, compare the fractions' numerators since the denominators are different. Group Alpha has 4/15 patients, Group Gamma has 1/3 patients, and Group Beta has 2/5 patients. Comparing the fractions' numerators, the order from smallest to largest is Group Alpha (4), Group Gamma (1), and Group Beta (2). Therefore, the correct order is Group Alpha, Group Gamma, Group Beta. Choice A is incorrect as it lists Group Beta before Group Gamma. Choice C is incorrect as it lists Group Gamma before Group Alpha. Choice D is incorrect as it lists Group Beta before Group Gamma, which is not in ascending order based on the number of patients.
Question 3 of 5
During week 1, Nurse Cameron works 5 shifts. During week 2, she worked twice as many shifts as she did in week 1. In week 3, she added 4 shifts to the number of shifts worked in week 2. Which equation describes the number of shifts Nurse Cameron worked in week 3?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: During week 1, Nurse Cameron worked 5 shifts. In week 2, she worked twice as many shifts as in week 1, which is 10 shifts. In week 3, she added 4 shifts to the number of shifts worked in week 2. Therefore, the total shifts in week 3 can be calculated as (2)(5) + 4 = 10 + 4 = 14 shifts. Choice A correctly represents this calculation. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the given scenario and the steps needed to find the total shifts in week 3.
Question 4 of 5
Which statement best describes the rate of change?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The rate of change refers to how one quantity changes concerning another quantity. In this scenario, the rate of change is the amount of snow melting per day, which is 5 centimeters. This is determined by the slope of the graph, indicating a decrease in snow depth. Choices C and D incorrectly describe an increase in snow depth, while choice A exaggerates the rate of snow melting compared to the actual value of 5 centimeters per day.
Question 5 of 5
Approximately how many people voted for the proposition if 9.5% of the town's population of 51,623 voted for it in a municipal election?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: To find the approximate number of people who voted for the proposition, multiply the town's population by the percentage that voted for it. 9.5% of 51,623 is about 0.095 * 51,623 ≈ 4,904. Rounded to the nearest thousand, this gives an estimate of 5,000 people. Therefore, choice B, '5,000,' is the correct answer. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not align with the calculated estimation.
