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: C

Rationale: To calculate the correct dosage for the child, we divide the required dosage (240 mg) by the concentration of acetaminophen in the drops (20 mg/mL). This gives us 12 mL as the correct amount. Therefore, the child should receive 2.4 mL (12 mL divided by 5) of concentrated infant drops. Option C is correct because it accurately represents the calculated dosage. Options A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not reflect the correct calculation based on the concentration and required dosage.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 1,050 people. To calculate the population next year, we need to add the 5% increase to the current population. 5% of 1,000 is 50, so the population will increase by 50 people. Therefore, the population next year will be 1,000 + 50 = 1,050 people. Choice B (1,200 people) is incorrect because it assumes a 20% increase instead of 5%. Choice C (1,100 people) is incorrect because it does not consider the 5% increase. Choice D (1,300 people) is incorrect as it implies a 30% increase, which is not accurate based on the given 5% annual increase.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To find how many questions the student answered correctly: 1. Calculate 85% of 50: 0.85 * 50 = 42.5 2. Since the student can't answer half a question, round down to the nearest whole number: 42 Therefore, the student answered 42 questions correctly. Option C is correct. Incorrect options: A: 40 questions - Too low, as the student scored above 40. B: 42 questions - Close but not rounded correctly. D: 45 questions - Too high, as the student's score was 85%.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To determine which group is the smallest, we need to compare the fractions representing the proportion of patients in each group. Group Alpha has 1/2, Group Beta has 1/3, and Group Gamma has 1/6 of the total patients. To find the smallest group, we look for the smallest fraction. Among the choices, 1/6 in Group Gamma is the smallest fraction, hence Group Gamma is the smallest group. Incorrect choices: A: Group Alpha - 1/2 is larger than 1/3 and 1/6, making it larger than Group Beta and Group Gamma. B: Group Beta - 1/3 is larger than 1/6 but smaller than 1/2, making it larger than Group Gamma. D: Group Delta - This is not a valid choice in the question, so it is incorrect.
