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: To calculate how many liters are left after using 25%, we first find 25% of 10 liters: 10 * 0.25 = 2.5 liters used. Subtracting this from the initial amount gives us the remaining water: 10 - 2.5 = 7.5 liters left. Therefore, choice A (7.5 liters) is correct. Choice B (8 liters) is incorrect because it doesn't account for the water that was used. Choice C (6.5 liters) and choice D (8.5 liters) are also incorrect as they do not reflect the correct calculation based on the given information.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Veronica's total cost is the sum of the base price, surround sound system, and maintenance package: $40,210 + $3,015 + $5,218 = $48,443. This is the correct answer (B) as it calculates the total price accurately. Option A is incorrect as it only includes the base price. Option C is incorrect as it does not include the additional costs. Option D is incorrect as it only includes the base price without the additional expenses.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To find the total height of the stacked boxes, we simply add the heights of the two boxes together. So, 4 inches (height of the first box) + 6 inches (height of the second box) = 10 inches. Therefore, the correct answer is A: 10 inches. Explanation of other choices: B: 12 inches - Incorrect because adding the heights of 4 inches and 6 inches does not equal 12 inches. C: 8 inches - Incorrect as the total height of the stacked boxes is not 8 inches. D: 9 inches - Incorrect because adding 4 inches and 6 inches does not result in 9 inches.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Step 1: Calculate the number of boys in the class. 60% of 30 students = 0.6 * 30 = 18 boys. Step 2: Calculate the number of girls in the class. Since there are 30 students in total, and 18 are boys, there must be 30 - 18 = 12 girls. Therefore, the correct answer is B: 12 girls. Other choices are incorrect because they do not align with the given percentages and total number of students.
