TEAS Math Questions

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To find the perimeter of a rectangle, you add all four sides. Given the width is 4 inches, and the length is 3 times the width (12 inches), the perimeter would be 2(4 + 12) = 2(16) = 32 inches. Therefore, the correct answer is A (28 inches). The other choices are incorrect because they do not match the calculated perimeter based on the given dimensions of the rectangle.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To find the number of male patients who were not overweight as children, we first calculate the total number of male patients. Since 70% of the patients were women, 30% were men. This means there were 30 men in the study. Out of these men, 10% were overweight as children, which is 10% of 30, equaling 3 men. Therefore, the remaining men who were not overweight would be 30 - 3 = 27. Therefore, choice C (27) is the correct answer. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not accurately represent the calculation based on the given information.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C (29). To find the range, we subtract the lowest number of flights from the highest number. Given that the choices are 20, 25, 29, and 32, the range would be 32 (highest) - 20 (lowest) = 12. Therefore, the number of flights per month must fall within this range, which is accurately represented by choice C (29). Choices A, B, and D are outside of this range and do not align with the calculation for finding the range, making them incorrect.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To find the number of students who will complete the nursing program: 1. Out of 100 students, 3/4 major in nursing = 75 students. 2. Only 1/3 of those who major in nursing complete the program: (1/3) * 75 = 25 students. Therefore, the correct answer is C (25 students) because only a third of the 75 nursing majors, which is 25 students, will complete the nursing program. Choice A (75) is incorrect because it represents the total number of students majoring in nursing, not completing the program. Choice B (20) and Choice D (5) are incorrect as they do not consider the proportions given in the question and do not calculate the number of students completing the program accurately.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: 6 hours. To calculate the total time taken, we first find the time taken for the first leg of the journey: 300 miles at 60 mph = 300/60 = 5 hours. Then, for the second leg: 200 miles at 80 mph = 200/80 = 2.5 hours. Adding these two times gives us 5 + 2.5 = 7.5 hours. Since there was a 30-minute break during the trip, we subtract this break time from the total, giving us 7.5 - 0.5 = 7 hours. Therefore, the correct answer is 6 hours. Choice A (5.5 hours) is incorrect because it does not account for the break time. Choice B (7 hours) is incorrect because it does not consider the total time with the break. Choice D (4.5 hours) is incorrect as it does not accurately calculate the total time
