TEAS Math Practice Test Questions
Question 1 of 5
What is the sum of 3/8 and 5/8?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: In this question, we are asked to find the sum of 3/8 and 5/8. To add fractions, we need a common denominator, which in this case is already 8. Adding 3/8 and 5/8 gives us 8/8, which simplifies to 1 whole unit. Therefore, the correct answer is A) 1. Option B) 1 1/4 is incorrect because the sum of 3/8 and 5/8 is 1, not 1 1/4. Option C) 01-Feb is not a valid fraction representation and does not make mathematical sense in this context. Option D) 03-Apr is also not a valid fraction representation and doesn't align with the correct calculation. Educationally, this question tests students' understanding of adding fractions with common denominators. It reinforces the concept that when the denominators are the same, we simply add or subtract the numerators and keep the denominator the same. Understanding this concept is crucial for more advanced math topics and real-life applications involving fractions.
Question 2 of 5
If 5y - 7 = 13, what is y?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To solve the equation 5y - 7 = 13, start by adding 7 to both sides to isolate the term with y: 5y = 20. Then, divide by 5 to solve for y, which gives y = 4. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choice B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not yield the correct solution when substituted into the equation. It's important to follow the proper steps in solving linear equations to arrive at the correct answer.
Question 3 of 5
What is the area of a rectangle with a length of 5 cm and a width of 4 cm?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: To find the area of a rectangle, you multiply its length by its width. In this case, the length is 5 cm and the width is 4 cm. So, Area = length * width = 5 cm * 4 cm = 20 cm². Therefore, the correct answer is 20 cm². Choice A (9 cm²), Choice C (10 cm²), and Choice D (25 cm²) are incorrect as they do not result from the correct calculation of multiplying the length and width of the rectangle.
Question 4 of 5
What is the perimeter of a rectangle with a length of 7 cm and a width of 3 cm?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: To find the perimeter of a rectangle, you add the lengths of all its sides. In this case, the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is 2*(length + width). Substituting the given values, we get: 2*(7 cm + 3 cm) = 2*(10 cm) = 20 cm. Therefore, the correct answer is 20 cm. Choice A (21 cm) is incorrect because it is the sum of the individual sides rather than the perimeter. Choice B (10 cm) is incorrect because it only represents one side of the rectangle. Choice C (14 cm) is incorrect as it is not the total perimeter of the rectangle.
Question 5 of 5
Which number is larger, 0.5 or 1/3?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To compare 0.5 and 1/3, we can convert 0.5 to a fraction, which is 1/2. When comparing 1/2 and 1/3, we find that 1/2 is greater than 1/3. Therefore, 0.5 is larger than 1/3. Choice B is incorrect as 1/3 is smaller. Choice C is incorrect as the numbers are not equal. Choice D is incorrect as a clear comparison can be made.
