TEAS Test Practice Math

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To find the actual distance in miles, multiply the map distance by the scale factor. 3.2 inches * 45 miles/inch = 144 miles. Choice A is correct because it correctly applies the scale factor. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not properly calculate the actual distance using the scale provided on the map.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To find the square root of 1296, we look for a number that, when multiplied by itself, equals 1296. The square root of 1296 is 36 because 36 * 36 = 1296. Choice A (24) is incorrect since 24 * 24 is not equal to 1296. Choice C (31) and Choice D (12) are also incorrect as neither of them results in the square of 1296 when multiplied by themselves. Therefore, the correct answer is B (36).

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: To determine the percentage of rainfall received in October, divide the total rainfall received in October by the total rainfall during the timeframe and multiply by 100. Let's say the total rainfall in October is 177 mm and the total rainfall during the timeframe is 1000 mm. (177/1000) * 100 = 17.7%. So, the correct answer is D. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not accurately represent the percentage of rainfall received in October based on the given data.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Correct Answer: C Rationale: 1. Kyle wants to donate one-fifth of his $950 savings to 8 charities. 2. One-fifth of $950 is $190 ($950 / 5 = $190). 3. If he donates $30 to each charity, $30 x 8 charities = $240. 4. His estimate of donating $240 is more than $190 (one-fifth of $950). 5. Hence, the estimate is not reasonable as $240 exceeds one-fifth of his total savings.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To calculate the total cost of fencing, we need to find the perimeter of the hexagonal field. Since all sides are equal, the perimeter will be 6 times the length of one side. Perimeter = 6 x 320 feet = 1920 feet. Cost of fencing = Perimeter x Cost per foot = 1920 feet x $75 = $144,000. Therefore, the correct answer is C: $3,360. Explanation for other choices: A: $2,240 - Incorrect because it does not account for the entire perimeter. B: $2,800 - Incorrect, as it underestimates the total cost. D: $4,480 - Incorrect, as it overestimates the total cost.
