Practice Math TEAS TEST

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: To find the cost of 1 syringe, divide $660 by 55 (55 syringes in a box) = $12 per syringe. To find the cost of 4 syringes, multiply $12 by 4 = $48. Therefore, the correct answer is D. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not correctly calculate the cost based on the given information.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To find the sale price of the sweater marked 15% off, you first calculate the discount amount by multiplying $78 by 15% (0.15), which equals $11.70. Then deduct this discount from the original price: $78 - $11.70 = $66. Therefore, choice B ($66) correctly estimates the sale price. Choice A ($12) is too low and does not consider the 15% discount. Choice C ($22) is also too low and does not account for the correct discount amount. Choice D ($69) is close but does not reflect the correct calculation after the 15% discount.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A because it describes a scenario with no correlation between two variables. In this case, as class attendance decreases, the overall grade remains the same, indicating that there is no relationship between attendance and grade. This lack of change in grade despite attendance levels demonstrates no correlation between the variables. Choice B is incorrect because it shows a negative correlation between exercise hours and weight gain. Choice C is incorrect as it represents a negative correlation between miles driven and gasoline in the tank. Choice D is incorrect as it illustrates a positive correlation between water intake and plant growth rate.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Find all pairs of numbers that multiply to give the number. To find factors, we need to identify pairs of numbers that, when multiplied together, result in the original number. This method ensures that we consider all possible combinations of factors. Dividing the number by all possible numbers (A) is not efficient and may lead to overlooking certain factors. Listing all the multiples of the number (C) is incorrect as it focuses on multiples rather than factors. Adding the digits of the number together (D) is unrelated to finding factors.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The data set has two distinct peaks at values 2 and 8, making it bimodal. This is evident as there are two modes in the data set. The frequencies of 2 and 8 are higher compared to the other values, creating the bimodal distribution. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect. A uniform distribution would have equal frequencies for all values, which is not the case here. Right-skewed distribution would have a long tail on the right side, which is also not observed. Left-skewed distribution would have a long tail on the left side, which is not the case here.
