TEAS Math Practice Test

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 75 dollars per gigabyte. The slope of the equation represents the rate of change in cost per unit change in data usage. In this case, for every additional gigabyte of data used (D), the cost of the phone bill (C) increases by $75. This interpretation aligns with the equation C = 50 + 75D, where 75 is the coefficient of D, indicating the cost per gigabyte. Summary of other choices: B: 75 gigabytes per day - This is incorrect as it does not reflect the cost per gigabyte relationship in the equation. C: 50 dollars per day - This is incorrect as it does not account for the cost associated with data usage. D: 50 dollars per gigabyte - This is incorrect because the correct cost per gigabyte is $75, not $50.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To find the fraction of blue shirts, we need to subtract the fractions of green and red shirts from 1 (total). Given that 1/4 are green and 1/3 are red, the fraction of blue shirts is 1 - 1/4 - 1/3 = 12/12 - 3/12 - 4/12 = 5/12. Therefore, the correct answer is C: 5/12. Choice A (1/2) is incorrect as it doesn't consider the given fractions of green and red shirts. Choice B (1/3) is incorrect as it only considers the fraction of red shirts. Choice D (1/4) is incorrect as it only considers the fraction of green shirts.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To round 8.067 to the nearest tenth, we look at the hundredth place, which is 6. Since 6 is equal to or greater than 5, we round the digit in the tenths place up by 1. Therefore, 8.067 rounded to the nearest tenth is 8.1. Choice A is correct because it correctly follows the rounding rule. Choice B is incorrect as it is a duplicate of Choice A. Choice C is incorrect as it rounds down to the nearest whole number, not the nearest tenth. Choice D is incorrect as it rounds up to the hundredth place, not the nearest tenth.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To convert miles to kilometers, we use the conversion factor: 1 mile = 1.60934 kilometers. Therefore, 4.67 miles is equal to 4.67 * 1.60934 = 7.504 km. Rounding to three significant digits gives us 7.51 km, which is the correct answer (B). Choice A (7.514 km) is incorrect as it has been rounded to four significant digits. Choice C (2.90 km) and choice D (2.902 km) are incorrect as they are much smaller values due to incorrect calculations or rounding.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The median is the middle number when the numbers are arranged in ascending order. Step 1: Arrange the numbers in order: {2, 3, 9, 12, 15}. Step 2: The middle number in this set is 9, making it the median. Therefore, the correct answer is B: 9. Choice A (3) is incorrect as it is the smallest number in the set. Choices C (12) and D (15) are incorrect as they are greater than the median value of 9.
