TEAS Test Practice Math

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To find the total number of clients secured in a given time, we divide the total clients by the clients secured in one period. 24 clients ÷ 3 clients/8 months = 8 periods. To find the total time, we multiply the periods by the time for one period. 8 periods × 8 months = 64 months. Therefore, Robert has secured 24 new clients after 64 months. The other choices are incorrect because they do not align with the correct calculation.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To find the milliliters of blood used for further tests, we first calculate 16.66% of 500 ml: 500 ml x 0.1666 = 83.33 ml. Therefore, the correct answer is C. Choice A is incorrect as it does not account for rounding to the nearest hundredth. Choice B is incorrect as it does not include the exact decimal value. Choice D is incorrect as it rounds up instead of rounding to the nearest hundredth.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: To determine when Truck B becomes the better buy, we need to find the breakeven point where the total cost of owning and operating both trucks is the same. First, calculate the total cost for each truck by adding the initial cost to the cost of gasoline for the miles driven. For Truck A: $450 + ($4/mile * x miles), and for Truck B: $650 + ($4/mile * x miles). Set these two equations equal to each other and solve for x to find the breakeven point. By solving the equation, we find that Sally must drive 4375 miles for Truck B to be the better buy. The correct answer is D. Summary: A: 500 - Incorrect, too low of a mileage for Truck B to be the better buy. B: 7500 - Incorrect, too high of a mileage for Truck B to be the better buy. C: 1750 - Incorrect, not the correct mileage for Truck B to

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: The correct answer is C: $36. The question states that each roommate contributes $12. Therefore, to find the total amount, we multiply $12 by the number of roommates (3 roommates x $12 = $36). This calculation gives us the estimated total amount of money the roommates used to purchase the gift. Choice A: $34 is incorrect because it does not account for all three roommates contributing $12 each. Choice B: $35 is incorrect as it also does not consider all three roommates contributing $12 each. Choice D: $37 is incorrect because it exceeds the total amount that can be obtained by multiplying $12 by 3.
