TEAS Test Math Questions

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The mode is the value that appears most frequently in a data set. In this case, the number 4 appears three times, which is more frequent than any other number in the set. Therefore, the mode of the data set is 4 (Choice C). The other choices (A: 2, B: 3, D: 5) are incorrect because they do not appear as frequently as 4 in the given data set.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To solve the inequality x > 5, we want to find all values of x that are greater than 5. This means x can be any number larger than 5 but not equal to 5. So, the correct answer is A. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they represent x being less than, greater than or equal to, and less than or equal to 5, respectively, which do not satisfy the original inequality x > 5.

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: 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.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To find the result of multiplying fractions, you simply multiply the numerators together and the denominators together. For 3/5 * 5/7: (3*5) / (5*7) = 15 / 35, which simplifies to 3/7. Thus, the correct answer is A: 3/7. Other choices are incorrect because they do not result from the correct multiplication process. B: 1 is the result of multiplying any fraction by its reciprocal, while C: 2 and D: 4 are not valid outcomes of this specific multiplication.
