TEAS Test Sample Math Questions Questions
Question 1 of 9

Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
Question 2 of 9
Four people split a bill. The first person pays 1/5, the second person pays 1/3, and the third person pays 1/12. What fraction of the bill does the fourth person pay?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: To find the fourth person's share, subtract the fractions paid by the first three people from the total bill (1). The first person pays 1/5, the second person pays 1/3, and the third person pays 1/12. Adding these fractions gives 7/15. Subtracting this from 1 gives the fourth person's share as 8/15, which simplifies to 4/5. Therefore, the fourth person pays 4/5 of the bill. Option A (1/4) is incorrect because it does not consider the fractions paid by the first three people. Option B (13/60) is incorrect as it is not the remainder after subtracting the first three fractions from 1. Option D (1/4) is a duplicate of Option A and is also incorrect.
Question 3 of 9
A closet is filled with red, blue, and green shirts. If 2/5 of the shirts are green and 1/3 are red, what fraction of the shirts are blue?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: To find the fraction of blue shirts, subtract the fractions of green and red shirts from 1. Green shirts are 2/5 and red shirts are 1/3, which sum up to 11/15. Therefore, blue shirts would be 1 - 11/15 = 4/15. So, the correct answer is 4/15. Choice A (4/15) is incorrect as it represents the overall fraction of green shirts. Choice B (1/5) is incorrect as it does not account for the fractions of green and red shirts. Choice D (1/2) is incorrect as it does not consider the given fractions of green and red shirts.
Question 4 of 9
How should 0.80 be written as a percent?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
Question 5 of 9
At the beginning of the day, Xavier has 20 apples. At lunch, he meets his sister Emma and gives her half of his apples. After lunch, he stops by his neighbor Jim's house and gives him 6 of his apples. He then uses ¾ of his remaining apples to make an apple pie for dessert at dinner. At the end of the day, how many apples does Xavier have left?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Xavier starts with 20 apples. He gives half to Emma, leaving him with 10 apples. After giving 6 more to Jim, he has 4 apples left. Using ¾ of the remaining 4 apples for the pie leaves him with 1 apple at the end of the day. Choice A is incorrect because it doesn't account for the apple pie Xavier made. Choices B and C are incorrect as they don't reflect the correct calculations of apples remaining after each step.
Question 6 of 9
What is the domain for the function f(x)=2x+5?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The domain of a function represents all possible input values that the function can accept. In this case, the function f(x)=2x+5 is a linear function, and linear functions have a domain of all real numbers. This means that any real number can be substituted for x in the function f(x)=2x+5, making choice A, 'All real numbers,' the correct domain for this function. Choices B, C, and D, restrict the domain unnecessarily by limiting the values of x to specific subsets of real numbers, which does not accurately reflect the nature of the given function.
Question 7 of 9
Express 18/5 as a reduced mixed number.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
Question 8 of 9
What is the result of adding 1/6 and 1/2, expressed in reduced form?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
Question 9 of 9
In the problem 6 + 3 2, which operation should be completed first?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is 'Multiplication.' According to the order of operations (PEMDAS), which stands for Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division (from left to right), Addition and Subtraction (from left to right), multiplication should be completed first. In the given expression, 3 2 should be solved before adding 6 to the result. This means that the multiplication operation should be prioritized over addition. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because, in the order of operations, multiplication takes precedence over addition, division, and subtraction, respectively.
