TEAS Math Practice Test

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: D

Rationale: To convert a decimal to a percentage, you multiply by 100. Therefore, 0.80 * 100 = 80%. So, the correct answer is D. Choice A (40%) is incorrect because 0.80 is not equal to 0.40. Choice B (125%) is incorrect as 0.80 is less than 1. Choice C (90%) is incorrect as 0.80 is not equal to 0.90.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To add 7/8 and 5/8, we add the numerators: 7 + 5 = 12, keeping the denominator as 8. So, the sum is 12/8. To express it in reduced form, we divide both numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 4. Therefore, 12/8 simplifies to 3/2, which is equivalent to 31/36. Option C (31/36) is correct. Option A (9/17) and Option D (3/5) are incorrect as they do not match the correct sum. Option B (1/3) is incorrect as it does not account for the common denominator of 8 in the addition.

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.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To find the sum of 3/8 and 5/8, you add the numerators together which gives you 3 + 5 = 8. The denominator remains the same (8). So, the sum is 8/8 which simplifies to 1 whole. Therefore, the correct answer is A: 1. Choice B is incorrect as 1 1/4 is greater than 1. Choice C is incorrect as 01-Feb is not a valid fraction. Choice D is incorrect as 03-Apr is not a valid fraction.
