Math Practice TEAS Test

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.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To find the total height when stacked, we add the heights of the two bookcases. 32.75 inches + 17.25 inches = 50 inches Therefore, the correct answer is B (50 inches). Explanation for incorrect choices: A: 49.5 inches is incorrect because the heights are added, not averaged. C: 48 inches is incorrect as it's less than the sum of the two heights. D: 51 inches is incorrect as it's greater than the sum of the two heights.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To find the total shifts for week 3, we add the shifts from each week. Cameron worked 5 shifts in week 1, 2 * 5 = 10 shifts in week 2, and added 4 more shifts in week 3. Thus, total shifts = 5 (week 1) + 10 (week 2) + 4 (week 3) = 19 shifts. Therefore, the correct answer is B: 14 shifts, as it correctly calculates the shifts for each week and provides the accurate total for week 3. Other choices are incorrect because they do not consider the shifts worked in week 2 or incorrectly calculate the total shifts for week 3.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Low positive correlation. This is because the data shows a general increasing trend, but the points are scattered and do not form a tight linear relationship. The correlation coefficient would be closer to 0 than to +1, indicating a weak positive correlation. Choices A and C are incorrect as they suggest stronger correlations, which is not supported by the data. Choice D is incorrect as there is some level of relationship between the variables, even if it is weak.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 2.54 centimeters in an inch; 0.393 inches in a centimeter. The conversion factor between inches and centimeters is 2.54, derived from the definition of an inch. To convert inches to centimeters, you multiply by 2.54. Conversely, to convert centimeters to inches, you divide by 2.54. The other choices are incorrect because they do not reflect the accurate conversion factor between inches and centimeters. B and C have incorrect conversion ratios, while D has an incorrect relationship between inches and centimeters.
