TEAS Practice Math Test

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,

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: y = 3x. By examining the chart, we see that y values are three times the x values. This relationship is represented by y = 3x. Choice A (x = 3y) reverses the relationship, choice C (y = 1/3x) states that y values are one-third of x values, and choice D (x/y = 3) represents x divided by y being equal to 3, which is not consistent with the given data in the chart.

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: C

Rationale: To find the percentage of times Cora did not slip and fall, subtract the times she fell (20) from the total times around the rink (27): 27 - 20 = 7. Then, divide the times she did not fall (7) by the total times (27): 7 / 27 ≈ 0.259 or 26%. The correct answer is C (26%), as it represents the approximate percentage of times Cora did not slip and fall. Explanation for other choices: A: 37% - Incorrect. This percentage does not accurately represent the times Cora did not slip and fall. B: 74% - Incorrect. This percentage is too high and does not align with the calculation. D: 15% - Incorrect. This percentage is too low and does not align with the calculation.
