TEAS Math Questions

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To find the number of students who will complete the nursing program: 1. Out of 100 students, 3/4 major in nursing = 75 students. 2. Only 1/3 of those who major in nursing complete the program: (1/3) * 75 = 25 students. Therefore, the correct answer is C (25 students) because only a third of the 75 nursing majors, which is 25 students, will complete the nursing program. Choice A (75) is incorrect because it represents the total number of students majoring in nursing, not completing the program. Choice B (20) and Choice D (5) are incorrect as they do not consider the proportions given in the question and do not calculate the number of students completing the program accurately.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To find the perimeter of a rectangle, you add all four sides. Given the width is 4 inches, and the length is 3 times the width (12 inches), the perimeter would be 2(4 + 12) = 2(16) = 32 inches. Therefore, the correct answer is A (28 inches). The other choices are incorrect because they do not match the calculated perimeter based on the given dimensions of the rectangle.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C (29). To find the range, we subtract the lowest number of flights from the highest number. Given that the choices are 20, 25, 29, and 32, the range would be 32 (highest) - 20 (lowest) = 12. Therefore, the number of flights per month must fall within this range, which is accurately represented by choice C (29). Choices A, B, and D are outside of this range and do not align with the calculation for finding the range, making them incorrect.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To find the number of students who will complete the program: 1. 3/4 of students major in nursing, so 3/4 * 100 = 75 students major in nursing. 2. 1/3 of nursing students complete the program, so 1/3 * 75 = 25 students will complete the program. Therefore, if 100 students are in the incoming class, 25 students will complete the program. Choice C (15) is incorrect because it does not align with the calculations. Choices A (75), B (20), and D (5) are also incorrect as they do not accurately reflect the number of students who will complete the program based on the given information.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To calculate how many liters are left after using 25%, we first find 25% of 10 liters: 10 * 0.25 = 2.5 liters used. Subtracting this from the initial amount gives us the remaining water: 10 - 2.5 = 7.5 liters left. Therefore, choice A (7.5 liters) is correct. Choice B (8 liters) is incorrect because it doesn't account for the water that was used. Choice C (6.5 liters) and choice D (8.5 liters) are also incorrect as they do not reflect the correct calculation based on the given information.
