TEAS Math Questions

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To determine the number of male patients NOT overweight as children, calculate the total number of male patients: 30% of 100 patients = 30 male patients. Then, find the number of overweight male patients: 10% of 30 male patients = 3 overweight males. Subtract the overweight males from the total male patients to get the number of male patients NOT overweight: 30 - 3 = 27. Therefore, the correct answer is C (27). Choice A (3) is incorrect because it represents the number of overweight male patients, not the number of male patients NOT overweight. Choice B (10) is incorrect as it does not consider the calculation of overweight male patients and total male patients. Choice D (30) is incorrect as it represents the total number of male patients, not the number of male patients NOT overweight.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct order is Gamma, Alpha, Beta. Step 1: Find the least common multiple (LCM) of the fractions: LCM of 2, 3, and 6 is 6. Step 2: Calculate the number of patients in each group for a total of 6 patients. Group Alpha: 6 * (1/2) = 3 patients. Group Beta: 6 * (1/3) = 2 patients. Group Gamma: 6 * (1/6) = 1 patient. Therefore, the correct order is Gamma (1 patient), Alpha (3 patients), Beta (2 patients). Choice C is correct as it reflects this order. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not follow the correct distribution of patients based on the fractions given.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To solve the equation x + x * x - x / x, we follow the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS). First, we calculate x * x = x^2, then x / x = 1. So the equation becomes x + x^2 - 1. Simplifying further, we get x^2 + x - 1. This is a quadratic equation. To find the value of x that satisfies this equation, we can factor it or use the quadratic formula. The correct answer is B: 3, as x = 3 satisfies the equation x^2 + x - 1 = 3^2 + 3 - 1 = 9 + 3 - 1 = 11, which matches the left side of the equation. Summary: A: 5 - Incorrect. The value of x that satisfies the equation is not 5. C: 2 - Incorrect. The value of x that satisfies the equation is

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Step 1: Given that y is three times x, the equation should reflect this relationship. Step 2: The equation y = 3x correctly models this relationship, where y is equal to three times x. Step 3: Option A (y = 3x) is the correct choice as it directly represents y as three times x. Summary: Choices B, C, and D do not correctly model the relationship between x and y as specified. Choice B (x = 3y) is the inverse relationship, Choice C (y = x + 3) adds 3 to x instead of representing y as three times x, and Choice D (y = x / 3) represents y as x divided by 3, not three times x.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Veronica's total cost is the sum of the base price, surround sound system, and maintenance package: $40,210 + $3,015 + $5,218 = $48,443. This is the correct answer (B) as it calculates the total price accurately. Option A is incorrect as it only includes the base price. Option C is incorrect as it does not include the additional costs. Option D is incorrect as it only includes the base price without the additional expenses.
