TEAS Test Math Questions

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To determine the smallest decimal, compare the digits from left to right. In choice C (2.002), the first non-zero digit is in the thousandths place, making it smaller than choices A, B, and D. Choice A (2.22) has the first non-zero digit in the tenths place, making it larger than choice C. Choice B (2.02) has a smaller tenths place digit than choice A but a larger hundredths place digit, still making it larger than choice C. Choice D (2.2) has the first non-zero digit in the tenths place, which is larger than choice C. Therefore, the correct answer is C (2.002) as it has the smallest value among the given options.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To find the median, we first arrange the data set in ascending order: 3, 5, 7, 9, 11. The median is the middle value when the data is ordered, which is 7 in this case. To confirm, count the numbers: there are 5 data points, making 7 the third value from both ends. Therefore, the median of the data set is 7. Choice A (3) is incorrect because it is the smallest value in the data set. Choice C (9) is incorrect because it is the second largest value in the data set. Choice D (5) is incorrect because it is the second smallest value in the data set.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To solve for x, first add 5 to both sides to isolate the variable: 3x = 21. Next, divide by 3: x = 7. Therefore, the correct answer is C (8). Choice A (7) is incorrect as the correct answer is 8. Choices B (5) and D (9) are incorrect as they are not solutions to the equation.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To evaluate -3 x 5, we multiply -3 by 5 which gives us -15. The correct answer is A (-15) because when multiplying a negative and a positive number, the result is negative. Choice B (-2) is incorrect as it is the result of adding -3 and 5. Choice C (2) is incorrect as it is the result of multiplying -3 and -5. Choice D (15) is incorrect as it is the result of multiplying 3 and 5, not -3 and 5.

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.
