TEAS Test Practice Math

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To find the milliliters of blood used for further tests, we first calculate 16.66% of 500 ml: 500 ml x 0.1666 = 83.33 ml. Therefore, the correct answer is C. Choice A is incorrect as it does not account for rounding to the nearest hundredth. Choice B is incorrect as it does not include the exact decimal value. Choice D is incorrect as it rounds up instead of rounding to the nearest hundredth.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To find the total number of clients secured in a given time, we divide the total clients by the clients secured in one period. 24 clients ÷ 3 clients/8 months = 8 periods. To find the total time, we multiply the periods by the time for one period. 8 periods × 8 months = 64 months. Therefore, Robert has secured 24 new clients after 64 months. The other choices are incorrect because they do not align with the correct calculation.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: To calculate the percentage difference, we need to find the percentage increase from City X to City Y. Let's assume City X has 100 staff members, with 40 females, making 40% female. In City Y, there are 120 staff members, with 60 females, making 50% female. The percentage difference is (50% - 40%) / 40% = 0.25 or 25%. Therefore, there are 25% more female staff in City Y compared to City X, which is equivalent to 20% of the female staff in City X. So, the correct answer is D (20%). Choice A (5%), B (10%), and C (15%) are incorrect as they do not accurately reflect the 20% increase in female staff members between the two cities.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To find the circumference of a circle, we use the formula C = 2πr, where r is the radius. Given that the radius is 3 inches, we substitute r = 3 into the formula: C = 2π(3) = 6π ≈ 18.85 inches. The best estimate among the choices is C: 18 inches, as it is closest to the actual calculated value of 18.85 inches. Choice A (12 inches) and B (16 inches) are too small, while choice D (24 inches) is too large compared to the calculated circumference.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: $86,666.67. To calculate this, divide the total operating expenses ($130,000) by 3, as a general guideline is that one-third of operating expenses typically go towards employee wages and benefits. $130,000 / 3 = $43,333.33. However, this only represents the wages portion, and benefits are typically an additional 50% of wages, making the total amount spent on wages and benefits $43,333.33 + ($43,333.33 * 0.5) = $86,666.67. Choice A: $43,333.33 - This only represents the wages portion and does not include benefits. Choice C: $52,000.00 - This amount does not account for benefits and is not calculated correctly. Choice D: $78,000.00 - This amount is only the wages portion and does not include benefits.
