TEAS Practice Math Test

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To simplify 0.0178 * 2.401, multiply the numbers to get 0.0427378. This is the correct answer (B). The other choices are incorrect because they do not result from the correct multiplication of the given numbers. Option A, 2.0358414, is the sum of the two numbers rather than the product. Option C, 0.2341695, and option D, 0.348324, are not the correct results of multiplying 0.0178 and 2.401.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: To find the total bonus amount, we need to work backwards. Since Chan has $600 remaining after paying taxes, donating, and paying off debt, this $600 represents 15% of his original bonus (100% - 30% - 30% - 25% = 15%). Therefore, $600 is equivalent to 15% of the bonus. To find the total bonus amount, we divide $600 by 15% (or 0.15), which equals $4,000. Thus, the correct answer is D: $4,000. Choice A ($3,000) is incorrect because it does not account for the remaining $600. Choice B ($3,200) and choice C ($3,600) are also incorrect as they do not reflect the correct percentage left after all deductions, which is 15%.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To determine the order from least to greatest, convert all fractions to decimal equivalents. -2 3/4 = -2.75 -2 7/8 = -2.875 -1/5 = -0.2 1/8 = 0.125 2/5 = 0.4 Now arrange them in ascending order: -2.875, -2.75, -0.2, 0.125, 0.4 Therefore, the correct order from least to greatest is -2 7/8, -2 3/4, -1/5, 1/8, 2/5 (Option C). Other choices are incorrect as they do not follow the correct order of the numbers when arranged from least to greatest.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To calculate the total cost, first multiply the daily rental cost by the number of days ($50 * 3 = $150). Then, multiply the cost per mile by the total miles driven ($0.25 * 120 = $30). Add these two amounts ($150 + $30 = $180). Therefore, the correct total cost is $180. Among the choices, only option A ($156) is incorrect as it does not match the calculated total cost. Option B ($190) is incorrect as it is higher than the correct total cost. Option C ($165) is incorrect as it is also higher than the correct total cost. Option D ($210) is incorrect as it is higher than the correct total cost.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: The mode is equal to the range. In this case, the mode is the value that appears most frequently in the data set. The mode for the given data set is 29, as it appears twice. The range is the difference between the highest and lowest values in the data set. In this case, the range is 46 - 17 = 29. Therefore, the mode (29) is equal to the range (29), making option D the correct choice. A: The mean is less than the median - This is incorrect as the mean is calculated by adding all values and dividing by the total number of values, while the median is the middle value when the data is arranged in order. In this case, the mean is greater than the median. B: The mode is greater than the median - This is incorrect as the mode (29) is equal to the median (also 29). C: The mode is less than the mean,
