Practice Math TEAS TEST

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: To find the portion each of the other three friends received, we first calculate what fraction of the pizza was left after one friend ate half. Half of the pizza is 1/2, so 1 - 1/2 = 1/2 is left. Then, we divide 1/2 equally among the three friends, giving each 1/2 ÷ 3 = 1/6. Therefore, each of the other three friends received 1/6 of the pizza. Summary: A: 1/5 - Incorrect. Not the correct division after one friend ate half. B: 1/3 - Incorrect. The correct division is not one-third after one friend ate half. C: 1/4 - Incorrect. The correct division is not one-fourth after one friend ate half.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To find the median, first, sort the data set in ascending order: -3, -2, 0, 5, 10. The middle value is the median, which is 0 in this case. This is the correct answer (B). The other choices are incorrect because: A: 10 is the highest value, not the middle value. C: 5 is not the middle value when the data set is arranged in ascending order. D: 2 is not present in the data set, making it an invalid choice.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A because to find the least common multiple (LCM) of two numbers, you need to list all the multiples of each number and then identify the smallest common multiple. This method ensures that you consider all possible common multiples and select the smallest one. Explanation for other choices: B: Listing factors and finding the largest common factor would result in the greatest common divisor, not the least common multiple. C: Dividing the largest number by the smallest does not give the LCM; it may give a different value altogether. D: Multiplying the two numbers together gives the product of the numbers, not the LCM.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 1000 mL. This is because there are 1000 milliliters in a liter based on the metric system conversion. 1 liter is equal to 1000 milliliters. Therefore, to convert liters to milliliters, you simply multiply the number of liters by 1000. Choice B: 100 mL is incorrect because it is not the standard conversion factor for liters to milliliters. Choice C: 10 mL is incorrect as it is too small of a quantity to be equivalent to a liter. Choice D: 1 mL is incorrect as it is significantly less than a liter.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 2W + 2(W + 3). To find the perimeter of a rectangle, you add up all its sides. Given that the length is 3 units greater than the width, the length is represented as W + 3. So, the expression for the perimeter is 2W (for the width) + 2(W + 3) (for the length). This simplifies to 2W + 2W + 6, which further simplifies to 4W + 6, representing the correct perimeter expression. Summary: B: W + W + 3 is incorrect as it only adds the width twice and does not account for the length. C: W(W + 3) is incorrect as it represents the area of the rectangle, not the perimeter. D: 2W + 2(3W) is incorrect as it incorrectly combines the width and length terms in the expression.
