TEAS Math Questions

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To find the percentage of trips that are the longest route, divide the number of longest route trips (3) by the total number of trips (9) and multiply by 100. So, (3/9) * 100 = 33.33% ≈ 33% which corresponds to choice B. Option A (0.25) is incorrect as it represents 25%, not 33%. Option C (0.5) represents 50%, which is incorrect as well. Option D (0.75) represents 75%, which is also incorrect.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To find the total height of the stacked boxes, we simply add the heights of the two boxes together. So, 4 inches (height of the first box) + 6 inches (height of the second box) = 10 inches. Therefore, the correct answer is A: 10 inches. Explanation of other choices: B: 12 inches - Incorrect because adding the heights of 4 inches and 6 inches does not equal 12 inches. C: 8 inches - Incorrect as the total height of the stacked boxes is not 8 inches. D: 9 inches - Incorrect because adding 4 inches and 6 inches does not result in 9 inches.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To find the number of hours spent sleeping, we need to calculate 1/4 of a day. Since a day has 24 hours, 1/4 of 24 is 24/4 = 6 hours. Therefore, the correct answer is A: 6 hours. Choice B (8 hours) is incorrect as it is not 1/4 of a day. Choices C (4 hours) and D (5 hours) are also incorrect as they do not represent 1/4 of a day.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To calculate the correct dosage for the child, we divide the required dosage (240 mg) by the concentration of acetaminophen in the drops (20 mg/mL). This gives us 12 mL as the correct amount. Therefore, the child should receive 2.4 mL (12 mL divided by 5) of concentrated infant drops. Option C is correct because it accurately represents the calculated dosage. Options A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not reflect the correct calculation based on the concentration and required dosage.

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.
