TEAS Math Questions

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: 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: 3 hours. Since the car travels 60 miles in 1 hour, its speed is 60 miles per hour. To travel 180 miles at the same speed, it will take 180 miles / 60 miles per hour = 3 hours. Choice B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately calculate the time required based on the given speed of the car. Choice B is too high, choice C is too low, and choice D is also too high.

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: C

Rationale: To find the new perimeter after scaling the rectangle by a factor of 2, we multiply the original dimensions by 2. The original perimeter is 2(5+10) = 30 inches. After scaling, the new width is 5*2 = 10 inches and the new length is 10*2 = 20 inches. The new perimeter is 2(10+20) = 60 inches. Therefore, the correct answer is C. Choice A (30 inches) is incorrect because that is the original perimeter, not the new perimeter after scaling. Choice B (40 inches) is incorrect because it does not consider the correct scaling factor. Choice D (50 inches) is incorrect as it miscalculates the new perimeter after scaling.
