TEAS Math Questions

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C (29). To find the range, we subtract the lowest number of flights from the highest number. Given that the choices are 20, 25, 29, and 32, the range would be 32 (highest) - 20 (lowest) = 12. Therefore, the number of flights per month must fall within this range, which is accurately represented by choice C (29). Choices A, B, and D are outside of this range and do not align with the calculation for finding the range, making them incorrect.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To find the number of students who will complete the nursing program: 1. Out of 100 students, 3/4 major in nursing = 75 students. 2. Only 1/3 of those who major in nursing complete the program: (1/3) * 75 = 25 students. Therefore, the correct answer is C (25 students) because only a third of the 75 nursing majors, which is 25 students, will complete the nursing program. Choice A (75) is incorrect because it represents the total number of students majoring in nursing, not completing the program. Choice B (20) and Choice D (5) are incorrect as they do not consider the proportions given in the question and do not calculate the number of students completing the program accurately.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To find the percentage of staff that is certified and available, we first calculate the percentage of staff on vacation: 35% of the total staff. The remaining staff available to work is 65%. Then, we find 20% of the remaining staff that are certified, which is 20% of 65% = 0.2 * 0.65 = 0.13. Therefore, the correct answer is B: 0.13, as it represents the percentage of staff that is certified and available. Choice A: 0.07 is incorrect because it does not accurately represent the percentage of certified and available staff. Choice C: 0.65 is incorrect as it represents the percentage of staff remaining after vacation, not the percentage that is certified and available. Choice D: 0.8 is incorrect as it does not accurately reflect the calculated percentage of certified and available staff.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To determine the number of male patients NOT overweight as children, calculate the total number of male patients: 30% of 100 patients = 30 male patients. Then, find the number of overweight male patients: 10% of 30 male patients = 3 overweight males. Subtract the overweight males from the total male patients to get the number of male patients NOT overweight: 30 - 3 = 27. Therefore, the correct answer is C (27). Choice A (3) is incorrect because it represents the number of overweight male patients, not the number of male patients NOT overweight. Choice B (10) is incorrect as it does not consider the calculation of overweight male patients and total male patients. Choice D (30) is incorrect as it represents the total number of male patients, not the number of male patients NOT overweight.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A. To determine which group has the largest number of patients, we need to find the group with the largest fraction. Comparing 1/2, 1/3, and 1/6, 1/2 is the largest fraction. Therefore, the group represented by 1/2 has the largest number of patients. Summary of other choices: B: Beta - Represents 1/3, which is smaller than 1/2. C: Gamma - Represents 1/6, which is smaller than both 1/2 and 1/3. D: Delta - No fraction is provided, so we cannot compare it to the other groups.
