TEAS Practice Test Math

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To simplify 3.45 * 0.53, multiply the numbers together: 3.45 * 0.53 = 1.8285 (Answer A). This is correct because when multiplying decimals, you multiply as if they were whole numbers and then place the decimal point in the answer based on the total number of decimal places in the factors. Summary of other choices: B: 18.285 - Incorrect as it is the result of adding the two numbers. C: 0.18285 - Incorrect as it is the result of placing the decimal point incorrectly. D: 182.85 - Incorrect as it is the result of ignoring the decimal places in the factors.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To find the ratio of girls to boys, we divide the number of girls by the number of boys. In this case, there are 26 girls and 22 boys. So, the ratio of girls to boys is 26:22, which simplifies to 13:11. Therefore, choice B (13:11) is the correct answer. Choice A (26:11) is incorrect because it incorrectly combines the total number of girls with the number of boys. Choice C (13:22) is incorrect because it reverses the order of girls and boys in the ratio. Choice D (11:13) is incorrect because it flips the ratio of girls to boys.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A because a quotient is the result of dividing two numbers. When you divide one number by another, the answer you get is called the quotient. For example, when you divide 10 by 2, the quotient is 5. Choice B is incorrect because the result of multiplying two numbers is called a product, not a quotient. Choice C is incorrect because the number left after subtraction is called a difference, not a quotient. Choice D is incorrect because the number remaining after a division is typically referred to as the remainder, not the quotient.

Correct Answer: A

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To convert milliliters to liters, divide by 1000 since there are 1000 mL in 1 L. Here, 2500 mL ÷ 1000 = 2.5 L. Therefore, the correct answer is C (2.5 L). Choice A (0.25 L) is incorrect because the decimal point is in the wrong place. Choice B (25 L) and D (250 L) are incorrect as they are significantly higher than the actual conversion.
