Math Practice TEAS Test

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: 4 quarts. There are 4 quarts in a gallon. This is because a gallon is a unit of volume equal to 128 fluid ounces, and each quart is equal to 32 fluid ounces. Therefore, to find out how many quarts are in a gallon, you divide the total number of fluid ounces in a gallon by the number of fluid ounces in a quart (128 ÷ 32 = 4). Choice A (1 quart) is incorrect because a quart is smaller than a gallon. Choice B (2 quarts) is incorrect as it is half of the correct amount. Choice C (3 quarts) is also incorrect as it is three-quarters of the correct amount. The correct answer is D (4 quarts) because it accurately represents the conversion of fluid ounces from gallons to quarts.

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.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 16 ounces. There are 16 ounces in a pound because this is the standard conversion rate between ounces and pounds. To arrive at this conversion, we can use the fact that 1 pound is equal to 16 ounces. Therefore, if you have 1 pound and you want to convert it to ounces, you would multiply 1 pound by 16 ounces/pound, which gives you 16 ounces. Summary of other choices: A: 8 ounces - This is incorrect because 8 ounces is half of a pound, not the full conversion rate. C: 32 ounces - This is incorrect because 32 ounces is actually equivalent to 2 pounds, not 1 pound. D: 12 ounces - This is incorrect as it is not the standard conversion rate between ounces and pounds.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To find the approximate number of people who voted for the proposition, multiply the town's population by the percentage that voted: 51,623 * 9.5% = 51,623 * 0.095 ≈ 4905. Therefore, the closest choice to this calculated value is B: 5000. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not align with the calculation result and are significantly higher or lower than the estimated number of people who voted based on the given percentage.
