TEAS Test Math Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which proportion yields a different number for the unknown compared to the others?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: To find the value of x in each proportion, cross multiply. For proportion A, x = 4; for B, x = 8; for C, x = 6; and for D, x = 10. Hence, proportion D yields a different value for x compared to the others. Choices A, B, and C all result in unique values for x, but these values are distinct from the value obtained in proportion D.
Question 2 of 5
If a tree grows an average of 4.2 inches in a day, what is the rate of change in its height per month? Assume a month is 30 days.
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The tree grows at an average rate of 4.2 inches per day. To find the rate of change per month, multiply the daily growth rate by the number of days in a month (30 days): 4.2 inches/day 30 days = 126 inches per month. Therefore, the rate of change in the tree's height is 126 inches per month, making option D the correct answer. Option A is incorrect because it miscalculates the rate based on daily growth. Option B is incorrect as it doesn't account for the total days in a month. Option C is incorrect as it overestimates the monthly growth rate.
Question 3 of 5
Given that three vertices of a parallelogram are (1, 2), (3, 4), and (5, 6), what are the coordinates of the fourth vertex?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: To find the fourth vertex of a parallelogram, we can use the properties of a parallelogram. Opposite sides of a parallelogram are parallel and equal in length. Therefore, we can determine the fourth vertex by extending the line formed by the first two points. If we extend the line from (1, 2) to (3, 4), we find that it has a slope of 1. This means that extending the line from (3, 4) by the same slope will give us the fourth vertex. By adding 2 units to both x and y coordinates of (5, 6), we get (7, 8) as the coordinates of the fourth vertex. Therefore, the correct answer is (7, 8). Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not satisfy the properties of a parallelogram and the given coordinate points.
Question 4 of 5
A sign stating 'Do Not Enter' is in the shape of a square with side lengths of 75 centimeters. What is the area in square centimeters?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The formula for the area of a square is given by the square of its side length: Area = side side. For this problem, the side length of the square is 75 centimeters. To find the area, you multiply 75 by itself: 75 75 = 5,625 square centimeters. Thus, the area of the square is 5,625 cm². This shows that option D is correct. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not correspond to the correct calculation of the area of a square with a side length of 75 centimeters.
Question 5 of 5
Jayden rides his bike for 5/8 miles. He takes a break and rides another 3/4 miles. How many miles does he ride?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To find the total distance Jayden rides, you need to add the fractions 5/8 + 3/4. To add these fractions, you must ensure they have a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator is 8. So, 5/8 + 3/4 = 5/8 + 6/8 = 11/8. Since 11/8 can be simplified to 1 3/8, Jayden rides a total of 1 3/8 miles. Choice B (1 1/2 miles), Choice C (1 7/8 miles), and Choice D (2 miles) are incorrect as they do not accurately represent the total distance calculated by adding the two fractions, which is 1 3/8 miles.
