TEAS Exam Math Practice

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: To calculate Matt's new wage, we need to add the 3/20 increase to his original wage w. So, the new wage is w + 3/20w = 23/20w = 1.15w, which corresponds to choice D. Choice A is incorrect as it represents a decrease. Choice B is incorrect as it represents a smaller increase. Choice C is incorrect as it represents a larger increase than what Matt received.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale after 5 retries.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: To solve the expression, we follow the order of operations (PEMDAS). First, we evaluate the parentheses: 3 - 4 = -1. Then, we multiply 7 by -1 to get -7. Next, we subtract -7 from 102 to get 109. Finally, subtract 25 from 109 to get the correct answer of 84 (D). Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not follow the correct order of operations or make calculation errors.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: To determine the order from least to greatest, we need to evaluate each expression. First, calculate each expression: 2^-1 = 1/2 -(4/3) = -4/3 (-1)^3 = -1 (2/5) = 2/5 Now, compare the values: -4/3 is the smallest, followed by -1, then 2/5, and finally 1/2. Therefore, the correct order is -(4/3), (-1)^3, (2/5), 2^-1. Option D correctly lists the expressions in this order. Option A is incorrect because it has the wrong order of the expressions. Option B is incorrect as it has a different order compared to the correct one. Option C is incorrect as it also has a different order than the correct one.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To solve the equation 5(4x - 5) = (3/2)(2x - 6), first distribute on both sides to get 20x - 25 = 3x - 9. Then, move x terms to one side and constants to the other side to get 17x = 16. Finally, divide by 17 to find x = 16/17, which is the correct answer (C). The other choices are incorrect because they do not yield the correct value of x when substituted back into the original equation.
