TEAS Test Practice Math

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: To calculate the percentage difference, we need to find the percentage increase from City X to City Y. Let's assume City X has 100 staff members, with 40 females, making 40% female. In City Y, there are 120 staff members, with 60 females, making 50% female. The percentage difference is (50% - 40%) / 40% = 0.25 or 25%. Therefore, there are 25% more female staff in City Y compared to City X, which is equivalent to 20% of the female staff in City X. So, the correct answer is D (20%). Choice A (5%), B (10%), and C (15%) are incorrect as they do not accurately reflect the 20% increase in female staff members between the two cities.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To find the total number of clients secured in a given time, we divide the total clients by the clients secured in one period. 24 clients ÷ 3 clients/8 months = 8 periods. To find the total time, we multiply the periods by the time for one period. 8 periods × 8 months = 64 months. Therefore, Robert has secured 24 new clients after 64 months. The other choices are incorrect because they do not align with the correct calculation.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To find the cars with both a man and a woman, we can use the formula: Total = Man + Woman - Both + Neither. Given Man = 20, Woman = 13, Total = 25, and Neither = 0 (since each car has at least one person), we can plug in the values: 25 = 20 + 13 - Both + 0. Solving for Both, we get Both = 8. Therefore, the correct answer is C (8 cars with both a man and a woman). Summary: A: Incorrect. There are more cars with a man. B: Incorrect. This number is too high considering the given information. D: Incorrect. This is the total number of cars, not the number with both a man and a woman.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To convert decimeters to centimeters, we multiply by 10 since 1 decimeter is equal to 10 centimeters. Therefore, for a book with a width of 5 decimeters, the width in centimeters would be 5 * 10 = 50 centimeters. This makes choice B, 25 centimeters, the correct answer. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not correctly apply the conversion factor from decimeters to centimeters. Choice A is too small, choice C is too large, and choice D is also too small due to incorrect decimal placement.

Correct Answer: A
