TEAS Math Questions

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To find the total height of the stacked boxes, we simply add the heights of the two boxes together. So, 4 inches (height of the first box) + 6 inches (height of the second box) = 10 inches. Therefore, the correct answer is A: 10 inches. Explanation of other choices: B: 12 inches - Incorrect because adding the heights of 4 inches and 6 inches does not equal 12 inches. C: 8 inches - Incorrect as the total height of the stacked boxes is not 8 inches. D: 9 inches - Incorrect because adding 4 inches and 6 inches does not result in 9 inches.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: $1,280 more. In the financing plan, the total cost is $1,000 (down payment) + ($120 x 24 months) = $1,000 + $2,880 = $3,880. The difference between paying in cash and choosing the financing plan is $3,880 - $2,600 = $1,280. Therefore, the man would pay $1,280 more with the financing plan. A: $1,480 more - Incorrect because it miscalculates the total cost of the financing plan. C: $1,600 more - Incorrect as it overestimates the additional payment compared to the cash option. D: $2,480 more - Incorrect as it includes the total cost of the furniture itself, not just the additional cost of the financing plan.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 3 hours. Since the car travels 60 miles in 1 hour, its speed is 60 miles per hour. To travel 180 miles at the same speed, it will take 180 miles / 60 miles per hour = 3 hours. Choice B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately calculate the time required based on the given speed of the car. Choice B is too high, choice C is too low, and choice D is also too high.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To find the number of hours spent sleeping, we need to calculate 1/4 of a day. Since a day has 24 hours, 1/4 of 24 is 24/4 = 6 hours. Therefore, the correct answer is A: 6 hours. Choice B (8 hours) is incorrect as it is not 1/4 of a day. Choices C (4 hours) and D (5 hours) are also incorrect as they do not represent 1/4 of a day.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To solve the expression, follow the order of operations (PEMDAS). First, multiply 2 by 8 to get 16. Then, add -3 and 16 to get 13. Finally, add 3 to 13 to get 16. Therefore, the correct answer is 13. Choice A (11) is incorrect because it does not account for the correct order of operations. Choice C (28) is incorrect as it only considers the addition of -3 and 3. Choice D (80) is incorrect as it wrongly multiplies 2 by 8 before adding -3.
