TEAS Test Practice Math

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: B

Rationale: To determine the total liquid in the pot, we add the volume of chicken broth (4 containers x 410ml) to the volume of water (1 liter = 1000ml). Total liquid = (4 x 410) + 1000 = 1640 + 1000 = 2640ml = 2.64 liters. Therefore, the correct answer is B. Choice A is incorrect as it miscalculates the total liquid. Choice C and D are significantly higher than the correct answer, indicating an error in calculation.

Correct Answer: A

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: B

Rationale: To find the distance in feet between the two points on the map, multiply the scale factor (60 ft/inch) by the map distance (10 inches). So, 60 ft/inch * 10 inches = 600 ft. Since 1 yard = 3 feet, divide 600 ft by 3 to convert to yards, which equals 200 yards. Therefore, the correct answer is B (600). The incorrect answers: A: 1800 - This is obtained by multiplying 60 ft by 10 inches without converting to yards. C: 200 - This is the result after converting 600 ft directly to yards without considering the scale factor. D: 2 - This answer is likely obtained by converting 10 inches directly to yards without considering the scale factor.
