TEAS Math Practice Test

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To express 0.0523 as a fraction, we need to consider the decimal places. Since 0.0523 has 4 decimal places, we place the digits after the decimal point over the place value of the last digit, which is 10000. Therefore, the fraction is 523/10000, making choice A the correct answer. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not reflect the correct placement of decimal digits relative to the decimal point and the corresponding place value.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To find what number 20 is equal to 40% of, you divide 20 by 0.40 (40%). This gives 50, which is choice A. The correct answer is A because 20 is indeed 40% of 50. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because 20 is not 40% of 8, 200, or 5000 respectively.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The median is the middle number when the numbers are arranged in ascending order. Step 1: Arrange the numbers in order: {2, 3, 9, 12, 15}. Step 2: The middle number in this set is 9, making it the median. Therefore, the correct answer is B: 9. Choice A (3) is incorrect as it is the smallest number in the set. Choices C (12) and D (15) are incorrect as they are greater than the median value of 9.

Correct Answer: B

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To simplify (x^2 + 2x)/(x), we first factor out x from the numerator to get x(x + 2). This simplifies to x + 2 since x/x = 1. Therefore, the correct answer is A: x + 2. Choice B is incorrect because it represents the original expression without simplification. Choice C is incorrect as it is the factored form of the original expression. Choice D is incorrect as it does not simplify to the correct form.
