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: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 1,050 people. To calculate the population next year, we need to add the 5% increase to the current population. 5% of 1,000 is 50, so the population will increase by 50 people. Therefore, the population next year will be 1,000 + 50 = 1,050 people. Choice B (1,200 people) is incorrect because it assumes a 20% increase instead of 5%. Choice C (1,100 people) is incorrect because it does not consider the 5% increase. Choice D (1,300 people) is incorrect as it implies a 30% increase, which is not accurate based on the given 5% annual increase.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To find the number of students who will complete the program: 1. 3/4 of students major in nursing, so 3/4 * 100 = 75 students major in nursing. 2. 1/3 of nursing students complete the program, so 1/3 * 75 = 25 students will complete the program. Therefore, if 100 students are in the incoming class, 25 students will complete the program. Choice C (15) is incorrect because it does not align with the calculations. Choices A (75), B (20), and D (5) are also incorrect as they do not accurately reflect the number of students who will complete the program based on the given information.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct order is Gamma, Alpha, Beta. Step 1: Find the least common multiple (LCM) of the fractions: LCM of 2, 3, and 6 is 6. Step 2: Calculate the number of patients in each group for a total of 6 patients. Group Alpha: 6 * (1/2) = 3 patients. Group Beta: 6 * (1/3) = 2 patients. Group Gamma: 6 * (1/6) = 1 patient. Therefore, the correct order is Gamma (1 patient), Alpha (3 patients), Beta (2 patients). Choice C is correct as it reflects this order. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not follow the correct distribution of patients based on the fractions given.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To calculate the final price after a 20% discount, you first find the discount amount by multiplying the original price ($80) by the discount percentage (20% = 0.20), which equals $16. Then, subtract the discount amount from the original price to get the final price: $80 - $16 = $64. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choice B ($60) is incorrect because it does not account for the correct discount amount. Choice C ($70) is incorrect as it does not reflect the correct calculation after applying the discount. Choice D ($66) is incorrect as it does not consider the accurate discount percentage applied to the original price.
