TEAS Test Math Questions

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Correct Answer: A (2) Rationale: 1. When dividing 8 by 4, it means splitting 8 into 4 equal parts. 2. Each part would be 2, as 8 divided by 4 equals 2. 3. Therefore, the result of dividing 8 by 4 is 2. Summary: - Option B (4): Incorrect, as 8 divided by 4 is not 4. - Option C (6): Incorrect, as dividing 8 by 4 does not result in 6. - Option D (8): Incorrect, as the division of 8 by 4 does not yield 8.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To find the sum of 4 + 5 + 12 + 9, we add each number sequentially: 4 + 5 = 9 9 + 12 = 21 21 + 9 = 30 Therefore, the correct answer is B: 30. Option A (20), C (40), and D (50) are incorrect as they do not accurately reflect the sum of the given numbers.

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: 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: The perimeter of a square is calculated by adding up all four sides. Since all sides of a square are equal, the perimeter is 4 times the length of one side. In this case, the side length is 6 cm, so the perimeter would be 4*6 = 24 cm. Therefore, choice A (24 cm) is correct. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not correctly calculate the perimeter of a square with a side length of 6 cm. Choice B (12 cm) is half the correct answer, choice C (18 cm) is three-quarters of the correct answer, and choice D (36 cm) is double the correct answer.
