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: C

Rationale: The correct order is Gamma, Alpha, Beta. Step 1: Find the least common multiple (LCM) of the fractions: LCM of 2, 3, and 6 is 6. Step 2: Calculate the number of patients in each group for a total of 6 patients. Group Alpha: 6 * (1/2) = 3 patients. Group Beta: 6 * (1/3) = 2 patients. Group Gamma: 6 * (1/6) = 1 patient. Therefore, the correct order is Gamma (1 patient), Alpha (3 patients), Beta (2 patients). Choice C is correct as it reflects this order. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not follow the correct distribution of patients based on the fractions given.

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: C

Rationale: To determine the number of male patients NOT overweight as children, calculate the total number of male patients: 30% of 100 patients = 30 male patients. Then, find the number of overweight male patients: 10% of 30 male patients = 3 overweight males. Subtract the overweight males from the total male patients to get the number of male patients NOT overweight: 30 - 3 = 27. Therefore, the correct answer is C (27). Choice A (3) is incorrect because it represents the number of overweight male patients, not the number of male patients NOT overweight. Choice B (10) is incorrect as it does not consider the calculation of overweight male patients and total male patients. Choice D (30) is incorrect as it represents the total number of male patients, not the number of male patients NOT overweight.

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.
