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: To find how many feet of wood remain, subtract the length cut off from the original length. 7 1/2 - 3 1/4 = 4 1/4. Therefore, the correct answer is A: 4 1/4 feet. Choice B, 4 1/2 feet, is incorrect as it does not match the subtraction result. Choice C, 3 1/2 feet, is incorrect as it does not account for the fraction left after subtracting. Choice D, 3 3/4 feet, is incorrect as it overestimates the amount left after the cut.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To find the sum of 4 + 5 + 12 + 9, we add each number sequentially: 4 + 5 = 9 9 + 12 = 21 21 + 9 = 30 Therefore, the correct answer is B: 30. Option A (20), C (40), and D (50) are incorrect as they do not accurately reflect the sum of the given numbers.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: To determine the correct answer, we need to find the value of x in each proportion. For choice A, x = 4; for choice B, x = 8; for choice C, x = 6; and for choice D, x = 10. So, the correct answer is D because it yields a different value for x compared to the other choices. Choices A, B, and C all have x values that are multiples of 2, whereas choice D has a different x value. Therefore, choice D is the only proportion that yields a different number for the unknown compared to the others.

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.
