TEAS 7 Math Practice Test

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Rationale: To find a reasonable estimate, divide the total distance by the number of days. 1480 miles / 5 days = 296 miles/day. The closest option is 300 miles/day (Choice C). This is the correct answer as it is the most accurate estimate of the daily distance. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect as they are either too low or too high compared to the calculated estimate, making them unreasonable choices.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Shifts = (2)(5) + 4. 1. Nurse Cameron worked 5 shifts in week 1. 2. In week 2, she worked twice as many shifts as in week 1, which is 2 * 5 = 10 shifts. 3. In week 3, she added 4 shifts to the number of shifts worked in week 2, which is 10 + 4 = 14 shifts. 4. Therefore, the equation describing the number of shifts Nurse Cameron worked in week 3 is (2)(5) + 4 = 10 + 4 = 14 shifts. Summary of incorrect choices: B: Shifts = (4)(5) + 2 - Incorrect because it does not account for the doubling of shifts in week 2 and the addition of 4 shifts in week 3. C: Shifts = 5 + 2 + 4 - Incorrect as it

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The product of two even integers and one odd integer will always be an even integer. This is because multiplying any number of even integers together results in an even number, and multiplying any number of odd integers together also results in an odd number. Therefore, the product could not be 3.75 (odd), 9 (odd), or 16.2 (even non-integer). The only possible option is 24, as it is an even integer and can be obtained by multiplying two even integers and one odd integer together.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: 29. To determine the range, subtract the smallest value from the largest value in the data set. Given the choices, 29 (C) has the widest range of values, which indicates the highest variability in the number of houses sold per year. Choices A, B, and D have smaller values, indicating less variability. Therefore, C is the correct answer as it provides the largest range, reflecting the potential difference in the number of houses sold annually.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: To calculate the sale price Gordon paid, we first find the discount amount by multiplying the original price by the discount percentage: $472 * 0.30 = $141.60. The sale price is the original price minus the discount amount: $472 - $141.60 = $330.40. Therefore, the correct answer is D. Choice A is incorrect because it only represents the discount amount, not the final sale price. Choice B is incorrect as it does not account for the discount. Choice C is incorrect as it is higher than the correct sale price.
