Math Practice TEAS Test

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To determine how many questions Joshua must answer correctly, we set up the inequality: 4x > 92, where x represents the number of questions answered correctly. With 30 questions, Joshua needs more than 92 points, meaning he must score more than (30 questions * 4 points per question = 120 points). Therefore, answer B (4x > 92) is correct. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the requirement of scoring more than 92 points to qualify for the scholarship.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 16 ounces. There are 16 ounces in a pound because this is the standard conversion rate between ounces and pounds. To arrive at this conversion, we can use the fact that 1 pound is equal to 16 ounces. Therefore, if you have 1 pound and you want to convert it to ounces, you would multiply 1 pound by 16 ounces/pound, which gives you 16 ounces. Summary of other choices: A: 8 ounces - This is incorrect because 8 ounces is half of a pound, not the full conversion rate. C: 32 ounces - This is incorrect because 32 ounces is actually equivalent to 2 pounds, not 1 pound. D: 12 ounces - This is incorrect as it is not the standard conversion rate between ounces and pounds.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C, the least common multiple of both denominators. To find the least common denominator of two fractions, you need to determine the smallest number that both denominators can evenly divide into. This is achieved by finding the least common multiple (LCM) of the denominators. The LCM is the smallest number that is a multiple of both denominators, ensuring that when you convert the fractions to have the same denominator, they will be in their simplest form. In contrast, option A is not correct as it refers to finding the least common multiple, not denominator. Option B is incorrect as it does not consider the need for the fractions to have the same denominator. Option D is also incorrect as it refers to the greatest common factor, which is not relevant when finding the least common denominator.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B (0.23). To find the percentage donated to support construction, we need to subtract the percentage that went towards construction costs from 100% (total). Therefore, 100% - 23% = 77%. This means that 77% of the funds were donated to support construction. Choice A (0.49), C (0.18), and D (0.1) are incorrect because they do not represent the correct percentage of funds donated to support construction after deducting the construction costs.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A because in a fraction, the numerator is the number written on the top, representing the parts being considered, while the denominator is the number written on the bottom, representing the total number of equal parts the whole is divided into. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not align with the standard mathematical convention where the numerator is always placed above the denominator in a fraction representation. B, C, and D provide misleading and incorrect information regarding the position and role of the numerator and denominator in a fraction.
