TEAS Math Practice Test Questions
Question 1 of 5
What number is 6 equal to 30% of?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To find the number that is 30% of 6, you can set up the equation 0.3x = 6. Solving for x gives x = 6 / 0.3 = 20. Therefore, 6 is equal to 30% of 20. Choice B, 20, is incorrect as it is the result of the calculation. Choice C, 24, and Choice D, 26, are incorrect as they are not the numbers that 6 is equal to 30% of.
Question 2 of 5
A scientist is trying to determine how much poison will kill a rat the fastest. Which of the following statements is an example of an appropriate hypothesis?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: A valid hypothesis must be a testable statement that predicts a relationship between variables. Option C is the only statement that presents a clear cause-and-effect relationship between the amount of poison given and the time it takes for the rat to die. Option A is descriptive without predicting an outcome, option B is a question rather than a statement, and option D is a general fact about poison and rats, lacking a specific hypothesis for testing.
Question 3 of 5
What is the sum of 3/8 and 5/8?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
Question 4 of 5
What is 1.25 as a fraction?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: To convert a decimal to a fraction, we note that 1.25 can be expressed as 1 + 0.25. Since 0.25 is equivalent to 25/100 or 1/4, we add 1 whole to 1/4 to get 1 1/4, which simplifies to 5/4. Therefore, 1.25 as a fraction is 5/4. Choice A (1 1/4) is the mixed number form of 5/4. Choice C (4/5) and Choice D (25/20) are incorrect fractions that do not represent 1.25.
Question 5 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.
