TEAS Test Sample Math Questions

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To find out how much paint Shawna has left, subtract the amount she used from the total amount she bought. 5.0 gallons - 2.5 gallons = 2.5 gallons left. So, the correct answer is B: 2.5 gallons. Choice A (2.0 gallons) is incorrect as it does not account for the amount used. Choice C (3.0 gallons) is incorrect as it overestimates the amount left. Choice D (1.5 gallons) is incorrect as it underestimates the amount left.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: To write 0.80 as a percent, you multiply it by 100. So, 0.80 * 100 = 80%. Therefore, the correct answer is D. Choice A (40%) is incorrect because 0.80 is not equivalent to 40%. Choice B (125%) is incorrect as 0.80 is less than 100%. Choice C (90%) is incorrect because 0.80 is not equal to 90%.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To solve the problem 6 + 3 * 2, we must follow the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS). According to this rule, multiplication should be completed first before addition. So, 3 * 2 = 6. Then we add 6 to 6 to get the final answer of 12. Therefore, the correct operation to be completed first is multiplication (Choice A). The other choices are incorrect because division and subtraction are not part of the given equation, and addition should only be done after completing multiplication in this case.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To find the fraction of blue shirts, we must first determine the fraction of green and red shirts. Given that 2/5 are green and 1/3 are red, the remaining fraction for blue shirts can be calculated by subtracting the sum of green and red fractions from 1 (total). Green: 2/5, Red: 1/3 Total fraction of green and red shirts: 2/5 + 1/3 = 6/15 + 5/15 = 11/15 Fraction of blue shirts: 1 - 11/15 = 4/15 Therefore, the correct answer is C (7/15) as the fraction of blue shirts is 4/15, leaving 7/15 for blue shirts. Other choices are incorrect as they do not align with the calculated fraction for blue shirts.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To divide fractions, we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second. So, (4/3) ÷ (9/13) = (4/3) x (13/9) = 52/27. The correct answer is A, 52/27, as it follows the correct procedure of dividing fractions. The other choices are incorrect because they do not result from the proper operation of dividing fractions.
