TEAS Math Practice Test

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: To find the speed in feet per second, first convert 72 miles to feet (1 mile = 5280 feet). Then, convert 90 minutes to seconds (1 minute = 60 seconds). Next, divide the distance in feet by the time in seconds to get the speed in feet per second. The correct calculation is (72 miles * 5280 feet/mile) / (90 minutes * 60 seconds/minute) = 70.4 feet per second. Choice A is too low, choice B is too high, and choice C is extremely low compared to the correct answer.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To find the sixth number, we can first calculate the sum of all six numbers by multiplying the average (6) by the total count (6), which equals 36. Since the sum of five numbers is 25, the sixth number can be found by subtracting 25 from 36, giving us 11 (Choice C). Other choices are incorrect because they do not satisfy the conditions given in the question. Choice A, 8, would make the sum of six numbers less than 36. Choice B, 10, would also make the sum less than 36. Choice D, 12, would make the sum greater than 36. Thus, the correct answer is C (11).

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To round 245.2678 to the nearest thousandth, we look at the digit in the thousandths place, which is 7. Since 7 is greater than or equal to 5, we round up. The ten-thousandths place, denoted by the digit 8 in this case, is used to decide whether to round up or down when rounding to the nearest thousandth. The correct answer is A (Ten-thousandths). Summary: A: Ten-thousandths - Correct, used to decide rounding up or down in rounding to the nearest thousandth. B: Thousandths - Incorrect, this is the place being rounded to. C: Hundredths - Incorrect, not relevant for rounding to the nearest thousandth. D: Thousand - Incorrect, not relevant for rounding to the nearest thousandth.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Correct Answer: D (1 apple) Rationale: 1. Xavier starts with 20 apples. 2. He gives half to Emma, leaving him with 10 apples. 3. He gives 6 apples to Jim, leaving him with 4 apples. 4. He uses 3/4 of his remaining 4 apples for the pie, leaving him with 1 apple. Summary: - Choice A (4 apples) is incorrect because Xavier uses 3/4 of his remaining apples for the pie. - Choice B (6 apples) is incorrect because Xavier gives 6 apples to Jim. - Choice C (2 apples) is incorrect because Xavier uses 3/4 of his remaining apples for the pie.
