TEAS Test Math Questions

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: To find the rate of change in height per month, we multiply the daily growth rate by the number of days in a month. 4.2 inches/day * 30 days = 126 inches/month. Therefore, the correct answer is D. Choice A is incorrect as it is the daily growth rate, not the monthly rate. Choice B is incorrect as it is the same as the daily growth rate, not the monthly rate. Choice C is incorrect as it is not the result of the correct calculation.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale after 5 retries.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The perimeter of a square is calculated by adding up all four sides. Since all sides of a square are equal, the perimeter is 4 times the length of one side. In this case, the side length is 6 cm, so the perimeter would be 4*6 = 24 cm. Therefore, choice A (24 cm) is correct. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not correctly calculate the perimeter of a square with a side length of 6 cm. Choice B (12 cm) is half the correct answer, choice C (18 cm) is three-quarters of the correct answer, and choice D (36 cm) is double the correct answer.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: To simplify the expression 3x - 5x + 2, we first combine like terms. 3x - 5x = -2x, so the expression becomes -2x + 2. Thus, the correct answer is D: -2x. Choice A is incorrect as it incorrectly combines the x terms without changing their signs. Choice B is incorrect as it only considers the x terms and ignores the constant term. Choice C is incorrect as it incorrectly combines the x terms without changing their signs.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To solve the inequality x > 5, we want to find all values of x that are greater than 5. This means x can be any number larger than 5 but not equal to 5. So, the correct answer is A. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they represent x being less than, greater than or equal to, and less than or equal to 5, respectively, which do not satisfy the original inequality x > 5.
