TEAS Exam Math Practice

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To round 2.7834 to the nearest tenth, we look at the digit in the hundredths place, which is 8. Since 8 is 5 or greater, we round up the tenths place digit by 1. Therefore, 2.7834 rounded to the nearest tenth is 2.8 (Choice C). Choice A (2.7) is incorrect because rounding down would be incorrect based on the given number. Choice B (2.78) is incorrect because rounding to the nearest tenth requires looking at the hundredths place. Choice D (2.88) is incorrect as it doesn't follow the rounding rules for the nearest tenth.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: To solve the equation (5/4)x = 20, we first multiply both sides by 4/5 to isolate x. So, x = 20 * 4/5 = 16. Therefore, the correct answer is D. Option A, 8, is incorrect because x is not equal to 8. Option B, 24, and option C, 32, are also incorrect as they do not satisfy the given equation.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To find the perimeter of the square, we first need to find the side length. Since the area of a square is side length squared (5625 = side length x side length), the side length is √5625 = 75 feet. The perimeter of a square is 4 times the side length, so 4 x 75 = 300 feet. Therefore, Melissa needs 300 feet of fencing. Summary: A) 75 feet - Incorrect. This is the side length, not the perimeter. B) 150 feet - Incorrect. This is half the perimeter. C) 300 feet - Correct. The perimeter of the square. D) 5,625 feet - Incorrect. This is the total area, not the perimeter.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To solve the equation 3x + 4 = 19, we first isolate the variable x. Subtract 4 from both sides: 3x = 15 Then, divide by 3 on both sides: x = 5 Therefore, the correct answer is C: x = 5. Choice A is incorrect as 3(3) + 4 = 13, not 19. Choice B is incorrect as 3(4) + 4 = 16, not 19. Choice D is incorrect as 3(6) + 4 = 22, not 19.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 13% decline. To calculate the overall percentage growth or decline in business, we need to consider the weighted average change. First, calculate the weighted average change for print subscriptions: (40% decrease x 70% weight) = 28% decrease. Then, calculate the weighted average change for online subscriptions: (60% increase x 25% weight) = 15% increase. Finally, subtract the increase from the decrease to get the overall change: 15% - 28% = -13%. Therefore, there is a 13% decline in business. Summary: A: 13% decline - Correct B: 15% decline - Incorrect, as it doesn't account for the weighted average. C: 28% growth - Incorrect, as it doesn't consider the decrease in print subscriptions. D: 8% growth - Incorrect, as it doesn't consider the weighted average change.
