TEAS Test Math Questions

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To find the sum of 4 + 5 + 12 + 9, we add each number sequentially: 4 + 5 = 9 9 + 12 = 21 21 + 9 = 30 Therefore, the correct answer is B: 30. Option A (20), C (40), and D (50) are incorrect as they do not accurately reflect the sum of the given numbers.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To find the total distance Jayden rides, add the two distances: 5/8 + 3/4 = 10/16 + 12/16 = 22/16 = 1 6/16 = 1 3/8 miles. Therefore, choice A (1 3/8 miles) is the correct answer. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately calculate the total distance Jayden rides based on the given distances.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Correct Answer: A (2) Rationale: 1. When dividing 8 by 4, it means splitting 8 into 4 equal parts. 2. Each part would be 2, as 8 divided by 4 equals 2. 3. Therefore, the result of dividing 8 by 4 is 2. Summary: - Option B (4): Incorrect, as 8 divided by 4 is not 4. - Option C (6): Incorrect, as dividing 8 by 4 does not result in 6. - Option D (8): Incorrect, as the division of 8 by 4 does not yield 8.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To find the median, we first arrange the data set in ascending order: 3, 5, 7, 9, 11. The median is the middle value when the data is ordered, which is 7 in this case. To confirm, count the numbers: there are 5 data points, making 7 the third value from both ends. Therefore, the median of the data set is 7. Choice A (3) is incorrect because it is the smallest value in the data set. Choice C (9) is incorrect because it is the second largest value in the data set. Choice D (5) is incorrect because it is the second smallest value in the data set.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To solve the system of equations, we can use either substitution or elimination method. By substituting y = -2x into the second equation, we get x - 2(-2x) = 8, which simplifies to 5x = 8, leading to x = 8/5. Substituting x back into the first equation, we find y = -16/5. Therefore, the correct solution is (1.6, -3.2). Option B (1.8, -3.6) and (-1.8, 3.6) is incorrect as it does not match the calculated solution. Options A, C, and D are also incorrect as they do not correspond to the solutions obtained through the correct calculations.
