TEAS Math Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
Two boxes are stacked, one measuring 4 inches tall and the other 6 inches tall. What is the total height of the stacked boxes?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To find the total height of the stacked boxes, you need to add the height of each box together. Therefore, 4 inches (height of the first box) + 6 inches (height of the second box) = 10 inches, which is the total height of the stacked boxes. Choice B (12 inches) is incorrect because it adds the heights incorrectly. Choice C (8 inches) is incorrect as it does not consider both box heights. Choice D (9 inches) is incorrect as it also does not add the heights accurately.
Question 2 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 3 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 4 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.
Question 5 of 5
A store offers a 15% discount on all items. If an item costs $100, what is the price after the discount?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: To calculate the price after the 15% discount on a $100 item, you first find 15% of $100, which is $15. Then, subtract $15 from the original price: $100 - $15 = $85. Therefore, the correct answer is $85. Choice A ($90), Choice C ($80), and Choice D ($75) are incorrect as they do not reflect the correct calculation of applying a 15% discount to the original $100 price.
