Math Practice TEAS Test

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 5,280 ft. There are 5,280 feet in a mile because a mile is defined as 5,280 feet. This standard measurement is widely accepted in the United States. The other choices (A, C, D) are incorrect because they do not correspond to the precise conversion factor for a mile. Choice A (1,000 ft) is too small, Choice C (2,000 ft) is also too small, and Choice D (10,000 ft) is too large. Therefore, B is the correct answer as it accurately reflects the established conversion of feet in a mile.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B (0.151). To calculate the percentage of total rainfall in October, you divide the amount of rainfall in October by the total rainfall in the timeframe. In this case, 0.151 is the correct percentage of rainfall in October. Choice A (0.135), C (0.169), and D (0.177) are incorrect as they do not accurately represent the percentage of rainfall in October when compared to the total rainfall.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To calculate the probability of consecutively pulling two more orange blocks, we first find the probability of pulling one orange block (3/12) and then the probability of pulling another orange block out of the remaining orange blocks (2/11). Multiplying these probabilities gives (3/12) * (2/11) = 6/132 = 3/55. Therefore, the correct answer is B. Choice A (3/12) is the probability of pulling one orange block, but it doesn't account for the second draw. Choice C (2/10) is incorrect as it doesn't consider the changing probabilities after the first draw. Choice D (1/3) is the probability of pulling one orange block only.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Feet are larger; 1 foot is 0.3048 meters. To determine which is larger, we need to compare the conversion factor. 1 foot is equal to 0.3048 meters, indicating that a foot is smaller than a meter. Therefore, meters are larger than feet. Choice B is incorrect because 1 meter is equivalent to 3.28 feet, showing that a meter is larger. Choice C is incorrect as 1 foot is not 0.5 meters, and Choice D is incorrect as 1 meter is not 2 feet.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Equals. In math, "is" signifies equality between two expressions or values. It indicates that the quantities on both sides of the "=" sign are the same. For example, in the equation 2 + 3 = 5, the "is" represents that the sum of 2 and 3 equals 5. Explanation for other choices: B: Multiply - The symbol for multiplication is "*", not "is." C: Subtract - The symbol for subtraction is "-", not "is." D: Add - The symbol for addition is "+", not "is." Therefore, the correct interpretation of "is" in math is to denote equality, making choice A the correct answer.
