TEAS 7 Math Practice Test

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Correct Answer: B Rationale: In January, Dr. Lewis worked 20 shifts. In February, she worked 3 times as many shifts as in January (3 * 20 = 60 shifts). In March, she worked half the number of shifts she worked in February (1/2 * 60 = 30 shifts). Therefore, the equation should be shifts = (20)(3)(1/2) = 30, which accurately represents the number of shifts Dr. Lewis worked in March. Summary of other choices: A: Incorrect because it adds shifts for each month without considering the relationships between them. C: Incorrect because it multiplies January and February shifts but does not account for March being half of February. D: Incorrect because it incorrectly multiplies 3 and 1/2 without considering the total number of shifts in February.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To find the cost of one box of crackers, we set up a system of equations. Let x be the cost of one container of yogurt and y be the cost of one box of crackers. From the given information, we have: 4x + 3y = 9.55 2x + 2y = 5.90 Solving the system of equations, we find x = 1.45 and y = 2.25. Therefore, one box of crackers costs $2.25, making choice C the correct answer. Incorrect choices: A: $1.75 - Incorrect because it doesn't match the calculated cost. B: $2.00 - Incorrect, as it does not align with the calculated cost. D: $2.50 - Wrong, as it does not correspond to the calculated value.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To determine the number of male patients not overweight as children, we first find the total number of male patients by calculating 30% of 100, which equals 30. Then, we find the number of overweight men (10% of 30), which is 3. Subtracting 3 from the total number of male patients gives us the number of male patients not overweight as children, which is 27 (30 - 3 = 27). Therefore, the correct answer is C. Option A is too low, B does not account for the overweight men, and D is too high based on the calculations.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: To calculate the sale price Gordon paid, we first find the discount amount by multiplying the original price by the discount percentage: $472 * 0.30 = $141.60. The sale price is the original price minus the discount amount: $472 - $141.60 = $330.40. Therefore, the correct answer is D. Choice A is incorrect because it only represents the discount amount, not the final sale price. Choice B is incorrect as it does not account for the discount. Choice C is incorrect as it is higher than the correct sale price.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B because it accurately describes the rate of change as the snow melting by 5 centimeters every day. This statement represents a consistent decrease in the snow level over time. Choice A is incorrect as it implies a higher rate of melting than what is described. Choice C is incorrect as it describes an increase rather than a decrease. Choice D is also incorrect as it describes an increase instead of the intended decrease in snow level. Therefore, choice B is the most accurate representation of the rate of change in this scenario.
