TEAS Practice Math Test Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which of the following is listed in order from least to greatest? (-2, -3/4, -0.45, 3%, 0.36)
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To determine the order from least to greatest, convert all the values to a common form. When written in decimal form, the order is -2, -0.75 (which is equal to -3/4), -0.45, 0.03 (which is equal to 3%), and 0.36. Therefore, the correct order is -2, -3/4, -0.45, 3%, 0.36 (Choice A). Choice B is incorrect as it has the incorrect placement of -2 and 0.36. Choice C is incorrect as it incorrectly places -0.45 before -2. Choice D is incorrect as it incorrectly places 0.36 before 3%.
Question 2 of 5
How many cubic inches of water could the aquarium hold if it were filled completely? (Dimensions: 30 in 10 in 12 in)
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To find the volume of the aquarium, we multiply its length, width, and height. The formula for the volume of a rectangular solid is V = l w h. Substituting the given dimensions, we get V = 30 10 12 = 3600 cubic inches. Therefore, the aquarium can hold 3600 cubic inches of water. Choice B (52 cubic inches), Choice C (312 cubic inches), and Choice D (1144 cubic inches) are incorrect as they do not correctly calculate the volume of the aquarium based on its dimensions.
Question 3 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 4 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 5 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.
