TEAS Test Math Questions

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To find the total pounds of apples Eric buys, we multiply the pounds he buys each week (5 1/2) by the number of weeks (4). 5 1/2 * 4 = 22 pounds. Thus, the correct answer is A (22 pounds). Other choices are incorrect because they do not correctly calculate the total pounds based on the given information. B, C, and D are not the correct results of multiplying 5 1/2 by 4.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To find the sum of 4 + 5 + 12 + 9, we add each number sequentially: 4 + 5 = 9 9 + 12 = 21 21 + 9 = 30 Therefore, the correct answer is B: 30. Option A (20), C (40), and D (50) are incorrect as they do not accurately reflect the sum of the given numbers.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The perimeter of a square is calculated by adding up all four sides. Since all sides of a square are equal, the perimeter is 4 times the length of one side. In this case, the side length is 6 cm, so the perimeter would be 4*6 = 24 cm. Therefore, choice A (24 cm) is correct. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not correctly calculate the perimeter of a square with a side length of 6 cm. Choice B (12 cm) is half the correct answer, choice C (18 cm) is three-quarters of the correct answer, and choice D (36 cm) is double the correct answer.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To calculate how many times larger the first cell is compared to the second, we divide the diameter of the first cell by the diameter of the second cell: 0.1 / 0.05 = 2. Therefore, the correct answer is A: 2. Option B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately represent the ratio between the two cell sizes based on the given diameters.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: To find the area of a circle, we use the formula A = πr^2, where r is the radius. Since the diameter is 16 cm, the radius is half of that, which is 8 cm. Plugging this into the formula, A = 3.14 * 8^2 = 3.14 * 64 = 200.96 cm^2. Therefore, the correct answer is D. Choice A: 25.12 - This is incorrect as it is much smaller than the correct answer. Choice B: 50.24 - This is incorrect as it is also smaller than the correct answer. Choice C: 100.48 - This is incorrect as it is still smaller than the correct answer.
