TEAS Math Practice Test

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To solve for y, first isolate y by adding 7 to both sides of the equation: 5y - 7 + 7 = 13 + 7. This simplifies to 5y = 20. Then, divide by 5 on both sides to find y = 4. Thus, the correct answer is A: 4. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not satisfy the equation 5y - 7 = 13.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To convert miles to kilometers, we use the conversion factor: 1 mile = 1.60934 kilometers. Therefore, 4.67 miles is equal to 4.67 * 1.60934 = 7.504 km. Rounding to three significant digits gives us 7.51 km, which is the correct answer (B). Choice A (7.514 km) is incorrect as it has been rounded to four significant digits. Choice C (2.90 km) and choice D (2.902 km) are incorrect as they are much smaller values due to incorrect calculations or rounding.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To add 7/8 and 5/8, we add the numerators: 7 + 5 = 12, keeping the denominator as 8. So, the sum is 12/8. To express it in reduced form, we divide both numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 4. Therefore, 12/8 simplifies to 3/2, which is equivalent to 31/36. Option C (31/36) is correct. Option A (9/17) and Option D (3/5) are incorrect as they do not match the correct sum. Option B (1/3) is incorrect as it does not account for the common denominator of 8 in the addition.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To solve for y, first isolate y by adding 7 to both sides of the equation: 5y - 7 + 7 = 13 + 7. This simplifies to 5y = 20. Then, divide by 5 on both sides to find y = 4. Thus, the correct answer is A: 4. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not satisfy the equation 5y - 7 = 13.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: To find the sum of 3/4 and 5/8, we need a common denominator, which is 8. 3/4 is equivalent to 6/8, so the sum becomes 6/8 + 5/8 = 11/8. 11/8 can be simplified to 1 3/8, which is answer choice A. Therefore, the correct answer is D, 1 5/8. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not represent the correct sum of the fractions.
