TEAS Math Practice Test Questions

Question 1 of 5

The phone bill is calculated each month using the equation C = 50 + 75D. The cost of the phone bill per month is represented by C, and D represents the gigabytes of data used that month. What is the value and interpretation of the slope of this equation?

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.

Question 2 of 5

A scientist is trying to determine how much poison will kill a rat the fastest. Which of the following statements is an example of an appropriate hypothesis?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C because it presents a clear and testable hypothesis that directly links the amount of poison given to the speed of rat death. It follows the format of an appropriate hypothesis by stating a cause-and-effect relationship that can be tested through experimentation. A is incorrect because it lacks a specific hypothesis and does not propose a clear relationship between the amount of poison and rat death. B is incorrect as it poses a question rather than a hypothesis, and it does not establish a direct connection between the variables. D is incorrect because it is a general statement about poison and rats without proposing a specific hypothesis to test.

Question 3 of 5

Your measurement of the width of a door is 36 inches. The actual width of the door is 35.75 inches. What is the relative error in your measurement?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To calculate relative error, we use the formula: (|Measured Value - Actual Value| / Actual Value) x 100%. In this case, the calculation is: (|36 - 35.75| / 35.75) x 100% = (0.25 / 35.75) x 100% ≈ 0.70%. Therefore, the correct answer is A (0.70%). Choice B (0.01%) is too small, choice C (0.99%) and choice D (0.10%) are too large compared to the calculated relative error of 0.70%.

Question 4 of 5

Which of the following equations does not represent a function?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: x = y^2. This equation does not represent a function because it fails the vertical line test, where any vertical line intersects the graph at more than one point. In this case, for each x value, there are two corresponding y values (positive and negative square roots), violating the definition of a function where each input can only have one unique output. Choices A, B, and D all represent functions as each x value corresponds to only one y value, satisfying the function criteria.

Question 5 of 5

What number is 6 equal to 30% of?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To find what number is 6 equal to 30% of, we set up the equation: 0.30x = 6. Solving for x, we get x = 6 / 0.30 = 20. Therefore, 6 is equal to 30% of 20. Choice A (18) is incorrect because 30% of 18 is 5.4, not 6. Choices B, C, and D are also incorrect as their respective calculations do not result in 6.
