TEAS Math Questions

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To solve the expression, follow the order of operations (PEMDAS). First, multiply 2 by 8 to get 16. Then, add -3 and 16 to get 13. Finally, add 3 to 13 to get 16. Therefore, the correct answer is 13. Choice A (11) is incorrect because it does not account for the correct order of operations. Choice C (28) is incorrect as it only considers the addition of -3 and 3. Choice D (80) is incorrect as it wrongly multiplies 2 by 8 before adding -3.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To find the percentage of trips that are the longest route, divide the number of longest route trips (3) by the total number of trips (9) and multiply by 100. So, (3/9) * 100 = 33.33% ≈ 33% which corresponds to choice B. Option A (0.25) is incorrect as it represents 25%, not 33%. Option C (0.5) represents 50%, which is incorrect as well. Option D (0.75) represents 75%, which is also incorrect.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Veronica's total cost is the sum of the base price, surround sound system, and maintenance package: $40,210 + $3,015 + $5,218 = $48,443. This is the correct answer (B) as it calculates the total price accurately. Option A is incorrect as it only includes the base price. Option C is incorrect as it does not include the additional costs. Option D is incorrect as it only includes the base price without the additional expenses.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: 6 hours. To calculate the total time taken, we first find the time taken for the first leg of the journey: 300 miles at 60 mph = 300/60 = 5 hours. Then, for the second leg: 200 miles at 80 mph = 200/80 = 2.5 hours. Adding these two times gives us 5 + 2.5 = 7.5 hours. Since there was a 30-minute break during the trip, we subtract this break time from the total, giving us 7.5 - 0.5 = 7 hours. Therefore, the correct answer is 6 hours. Choice A (5.5 hours) is incorrect because it does not account for the break time. Choice B (7 hours) is incorrect because it does not consider the total time with the break. Choice D (4.5 hours) is incorrect as it does not accurately calculate the total time

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.
