TEAS Test Math Questions

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To find the mean, sum all values and divide by the total count. For this data set, sum = 16+18+17+15+19+14+12+11+10+16+18+17 = 183. Total count = 12. Mean = 183/12 = 15.25, which makes choice C, 16, the correct answer. Choice A, 14.25, and B, 15.25, are incorrect as they do not match the calculated mean. Choice D, 17, is incorrect as it is higher than the calculated mean value.

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: D

Rationale: To convert a percentage to a fraction, we divide the percentage by 100. So, 290% is equal to 290/100. Simplifying this fraction gives us 29/10. Therefore, the correct answer is D. Option A (29/10) is the simplified form of the correct answer. Option B (58/20) and Option C (145/50) are incorrect as they are not equivalent to 290%.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: To find the area of a circle, we use the formula A = πr^2, where r is the radius. Since the diameter is 16 cm, the radius is half of that, which is 8 cm. Plugging this into the formula, A = 3.14 * 8^2 = 3.14 * 64 = 200.96 cm^2. Therefore, the correct answer is D. Choice A: 25.12 - This is incorrect as it is much smaller than the correct answer. Choice B: 50.24 - This is incorrect as it is also smaller than the correct answer. Choice C: 100.48 - This is incorrect as it is still smaller than the correct answer.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To find the product of 2/3 and 3/4, multiply the numerators (2 * 3 = 6) to get the new numerator and multiply the denominators (3 * 4 = 12) to get the new denominator. Therefore, the product is 6/12 which simplifies to 1/2. Choice A (1) is correct because 1 is the simplified form of the product. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not reflect the correct multiplication of fractions.
