TEAS Math Questions

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To find the number of male patients who were not overweight as children, we first calculate the total number of male patients. Since 70% of the patients were women, 30% were men. This means there were 30 men in the study. Out of these men, 10% were overweight as children, which is 10% of 30, equaling 3 men. Therefore, the remaining men who were not overweight would be 30 - 3 = 27. Therefore, choice C (27) is the correct answer. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not accurately represent the calculation based on the given information.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A. To determine which group has the largest number of patients, we need to find the group with the largest fraction. Comparing 1/2, 1/3, and 1/6, 1/2 is the largest fraction. Therefore, the group represented by 1/2 has the largest number of patients. Summary of other choices: B: Beta - Represents 1/3, which is smaller than 1/2. C: Gamma - Represents 1/6, which is smaller than both 1/2 and 1/3. D: Delta - No fraction is provided, so we cannot compare it to the other groups.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To find the perimeter of a rectangle, you add all four sides. Given the width is 4 inches, and the length is 3 times the width (12 inches), the perimeter would be 2(4 + 12) = 2(16) = 32 inches. Therefore, the correct answer is A (28 inches). The other choices are incorrect because they do not match the calculated perimeter based on the given dimensions of the rectangle.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To find the number of students who will complete the program: 1. 3/4 of students major in nursing, so 3/4 * 100 = 75 students major in nursing. 2. 1/3 of nursing students complete the program, so 1/3 * 75 = 25 students will complete the program. Therefore, if 100 students are in the incoming class, 25 students will complete the program. Choice C (15) is incorrect because it does not align with the calculations. Choices A (75), B (20), and D (5) are also incorrect as they do not accurately reflect the number of students who will complete the program based on the given information.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To find how many questions the student answered correctly: 1. Calculate 85% of 50: 0.85 * 50 = 42.5 2. Since the student can't answer half a question, round down to the nearest whole number: 42 Therefore, the student answered 42 questions correctly. Option C is correct. Incorrect options: A: 40 questions - Too low, as the student scored above 40. B: 42 questions - Close but not rounded correctly. D: 45 questions - Too high, as the student's score was 85%.
