TEAS Test Math Questions

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: To find the area of a square, you square the length of one side. In this case, the side length is 75 cm. Therefore, the area is 75 cm x 75 cm = 5,625 square cm. Option D is correct. Option A (150) is too small as it represents the perimeter of the square. Option B (300) is incorrect as it is half the correct area. Option C (5,325) is incorrect as it is much larger than the correct area.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Correct Answer: A (2) Rationale: 1. When dividing 8 by 4, it means splitting 8 into 4 equal parts. 2. Each part would be 2, as 8 divided by 4 equals 2. 3. Therefore, the result of dividing 8 by 4 is 2. Summary: - Option B (4): Incorrect, as 8 divided by 4 is not 4. - Option C (6): Incorrect, as dividing 8 by 4 does not result in 6. - Option D (8): Incorrect, as the division of 8 by 4 does not yield 8.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To find the area that needs weeding, we first calculate the area of the entire circle using the formula A = πr^2. Substituting the radius (11.5 feet) into the formula gives A = 3.14 * 11.5^2 ≈ 415.49 sq ft. Since only half needs weeding, we divide this by 2 to get 207.74 sq ft, which rounds to 207.64 sq ft (Option B). Other choices are incorrect because they either don't consider halving the area or use incorrect calculations.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: To find the rate of change in height per month, we multiply the daily growth rate by the number of days in a month. 4.2 inches/day * 30 days = 126 inches/month. Therefore, the correct answer is D. Choice A is incorrect as it is the daily growth rate, not the monthly rate. Choice B is incorrect as it is the same as the daily growth rate, not the monthly rate. Choice C is incorrect as it is not the result of the correct calculation.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To solve |x| = 10, we consider both possibilities: x = 10 and x = -10 since the absolute value of x is always positive. So, the correct answer is A: -10, 10. Choice B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not reflect the correct solutions to the absolute value equation given.
