TEAS Math Questions

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To find the percentage of staff that is certified and available, we first calculate the percentage of staff on vacation: 35% of the total staff. The remaining staff available to work is 65%. Then, we find 20% of the remaining staff that are certified, which is 20% of 65% = 0.2 * 0.65 = 0.13. Therefore, the correct answer is B: 0.13, as it represents the percentage of staff that is certified and available. Choice A: 0.07 is incorrect because it does not accurately represent the percentage of certified and available staff. Choice C: 0.65 is incorrect as it represents the percentage of staff remaining after vacation, not the percentage that is certified and available. Choice D: 0.8 is incorrect as it does not accurately reflect the calculated percentage of certified and available staff.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Veronica's total cost is the sum of the base price, surround sound system, and maintenance package: $40,210 + $3,015 + $5,218 = $48,443. This is the correct answer (B) as it calculates the total price accurately. Option A is incorrect as it only includes the base price. Option C is incorrect as it does not include the additional costs. Option D is incorrect as it only includes the base price without the additional expenses.

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: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A. To determine which group has the largest number of patients, we need to find the group with the largest fraction. Comparing 1/2, 1/3, and 1/6, 1/2 is the largest fraction. Therefore, the group represented by 1/2 has the largest number of patients. Summary of other choices: B: Beta - Represents 1/3, which is smaller than 1/2. C: Gamma - Represents 1/6, which is smaller than both 1/2 and 1/3. D: Delta - No fraction is provided, so we cannot compare it to the other groups.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To find the number of male patients who were not overweight as children, we first calculate the total number of male patients. Since 70% of the patients were women, 30% were men. This means there were 30 men in the study. Out of these men, 10% were overweight as children, which is 10% of 30, equaling 3 men. Therefore, the remaining men who were not overweight would be 30 - 3 = 27. Therefore, choice C (27) is the correct answer. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not accurately represent the calculation based on the given information.
