TEAS Practice Math Test

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: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A (35). To find the number of students who chose blue, multiply the total number of students by the percentage that chose blue: 100 x 0.35 = 35. This calculation gives us the number of students who said blue is their favorite color. The other choices are incorrect because they do not correctly calculate the number of students who chose blue based on the given percentage. Choice B (25), C (20), and D (10) do not accurately represent 35% of the total number of students. Therefore, choice A is the correct answer based on the calculation method provided.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To find the total months required for Robert to secure 24 clients, we can set up a proportion: 3 clients/8 months = 24 clients/x months. Cross multiplying gives us 3x = 192, so x = 64 months. Therefore, the correct answer is A (64 months). The other choices are incorrect because they do not yield the correct solution when the proportion is applied. B (58 months), C (52 months), and D (66 months) do not align with the correct calculation based on the given information.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The best estimate of the total number of pounds of potatoes on the farmer's trailer can be calculated by finding the average weight per bag and then multiplying it by the total number of bags. Since each bag contains between 23 to 27 pounds, we can estimate the average weight per bag to be around 25 pounds. With 150 bags, the total weight would be approximately 150 bags * 25 pounds per bag = 3,750 pounds. Therefore, the best estimate is 3,700 pounds (Choice B). Choice A (3,000 pounds) is too low as it assumes the lowest possible weight per bag consistently. Choice C (4,100 pounds) is too high as it assumes the highest possible weight per bag consistently. Choice D (5,000 pounds) is also too high and overestimates the total weight based on the given information.
