TEAS Practice Math Test Questions
Question 1 of 5
What was the mean time for the women who ran the 200m event at the 2008 Olympic Games (times in seconds: 22.33, 22.50, 22.50, 22.61, 22.71, 22.72, 22.83, 23.22)?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: To find the mean time, you need to add all the times (22.33 + 22.50 + 22.50 + 22.61 + 22.71 + 22.72 + 22.83 + 23.22) and then divide by the total number of times (8). This calculation results in a mean time of 22.68 seconds. Choice A, 22.50 sec, is incorrect because it is the time of one of the runners, not the mean time. Choice B, 22.66 sec, and Choice D, 22.77 sec, are also incorrect as they are not the calculated mean of the given times.
Question 2 of 5
How many milligrams are in 5 grams?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: To convert grams to milligrams, you need to multiply by 1000 since 1 gram is equal to 1000 milligrams. Therefore, 5 grams is equal to 5 * 1000 = 5000 milligrams. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not correctly convert grams to milligrams. Choice A is incorrect as it represents a decrease in value instead of an increase when converting from grams to milligrams. Choice B is incorrect because it is a factor of 10 lower than the correct answer. Choice C is incorrect as it is a factor of 10 lower than the correct answer. Thus, the correct answer is D, 5000 mg.
Question 3 of 5
A rectangular solid box has a square base with a side length of 5 feet and a height of h feet. If the volume of the box is 200 cubic feet, which of the following equations can be used to find h?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The volume formula for a rectangular solid is V = l w h. In this case, the length and width are both 5 feet. Substituting the values into the formula gives V = 5 5 h = 25h = 200. Therefore, h = 200 · 25 = 8. Option A is incorrect because the product of length, width, and height is not directly equal to the volume. Option B is incorrect as squaring the height is not part of the volume formula. Option D is incorrect as it oversimplifies the relationship between height and volume, not considering the base dimensions.
Question 4 of 5
Using the chart below, which equation describes the relationship between x and y?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct equation that describes the relationship between x and y based on the chart is y = 3x. This is because each y-value in the chart is 3 times the x-value. Choice A (x = 3y) is incorrect as it implies x is 3 times y, which is the opposite of the relationship shown in the chart. Choice C (y = 1/3x) is incorrect since the relationship in the chart indicates y is 3 times x, not a third of x. Choice D (x/y = 3) is incorrect as it represents a ratio between x and y equal to 3, which is not in line with the relationship depicted in the chart.
Question 5 of 5
The table below shows the number of books checked out from a library over the course of 4 weeks. Which equation describes the relationship between the number of books (b) and weeks (w)?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The relationship between the number of books and weeks is best described by the equation b = 5w + 10. This is because the initial value of books checked out is 10, which indicates that even with 0 weeks, there are already 10 books checked out. The rate at which books are checked out per week is 5, as indicated by the coefficient of w. Therefore, the correct equation should be b = 5w + 10. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not represent the correct initial value or rate of increase for the given scenario.
