Practice Math TEAS TEST

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A because a factor is a number that can be multiplied by another number to give the original number. For example, in the case of 6, factors would be 1, 2, 3, and 6. These numbers can be multiplied to get 6. Choice B is incorrect because it describes a divisor. Choice C is incorrect as it does not specifically define a factor but rather a relationship between two numbers. Choice D is incorrect as factors can be numbers less than, equal to, or greater than 1.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Step 1: Let x be the original price of the recliner. Step 2: Sale price = x - 0.3x = 0.7x Step 3: Price after coupon = 0.7x - 0.25(0.7x) = 0.525x Step 4: Set up equation: 0.525x = 237 Step 5: Solve for x: x = 237 / 0.525 ≈ $451 Step 6: The original price is closest to $451, making option C incorrect. Step 7: Check why other choices are incorrect: - Option A: $316 is too low for the original price. - Option B: $431 is the calculated sale price, not the original price. - Option D: $527 is the original price based on the calculation.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Find all pairs of numbers that multiply to give the number. To find factors, we need to identify pairs of numbers that, when multiplied together, result in the original number. This method ensures that we consider all possible combinations of factors. Dividing the number by all possible numbers (A) is not efficient and may lead to overlooking certain factors. Listing all the multiples of the number (C) is incorrect as it focuses on multiples rather than factors. Adding the digits of the number together (D) is unrelated to finding factors.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Correct Answer: A Rationale: 1. Given equation: D = 2R 2. To find the relationship between D and R, we see that D is equal to 2 times R. 3. Thus, D is twice as much as R, making choice A the correct answer. 4. Other choices are incorrect: - B: R is twice as much as D (incorrect as the equation shows D is twice R). - C: R is two times D (incorrect as the equation states D is two times R). - D: D is two more than R (incorrect as D is actually two times R).

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: A shared multiple of two denominators. In order to add or subtract fractions, they must have a common denominator. This means they need to have the same bottom number. By finding the least common multiple of the denominators, you ensure that the fractions have the same base for accurate calculations. Choice B is incorrect because the common denominator is related to the denominators, not the numerators. Choice C is incorrect as the common denominator specifically refers to the bottom number in fractions. Choice D is incorrect as a common denominator may not necessarily divide evenly into both fractions, but it must be a multiple of both denominators.
