TEAS Practice Math Test

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: $600. The first step is to calculate the amount saved after paying rent and utilities. Since she uses 2/5 for rent and utilities, she saves 3/5 of her monthly contribution. Then, she saves half of this amount for incidental expenditures, which means she spends the other half on medical supplies. Therefore, she spends 1/4 of her monthly contribution on medical supplies. If we let her monthly contribution be x, then 1/4 of x equals $600. Therefore, the correct answer is $600. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not align with the calculations based on the given information.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To calculate the total square inches of wrapping paper needed, we first find the surface area of the box. The surface area of a rectangular box is calculated by adding the areas of all its faces. For this box, the surface area is 2(14x8) + 2(14x6) + 2(8x6) = 224 + 168 + 96 = 488 square inches. Therefore, the correct answer is C (488). Choice A (56) is incorrect because it is too small and does not account for all sides of the box. Choice B (244) is also incorrect as it is not the total surface area of the box. Choice D (672) is incorrect as it is too large and does not accurately represent the wrapping paper needed.

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

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.
