Math Practice TEAS Test

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Mile is bigger; 1 mile is 1.609 km. This is because a mile is a longer unit of measurement compared to a kilometer. The conversion factor is 1 mile equals 1.609 kilometers. To convert miles to kilometers, you multiply the number of miles by 1.609. The other choices are incorrect because: B: Kilometer is bigger; 1 km is 1.609 miles - This is incorrect as a kilometer is shorter than a mile. C: Mile is bigger; 1 mile is 1.5 km - This is incorrect as 1 mile is actually equal to about 1.609 kilometers. D: Kilometer is bigger; 1 km is 2 miles - This is incorrect as a kilometer is shorter than 2 miles.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To calculate the number of tanks needed, divide total miles by miles per gallon: 1,800 miles / 30 mpg = 60 gallons. Then, divide total gallons by tank capacity: 60 gallons / 12 gallons = 5 tanks. Therefore, Robert will need 5 tanks of gas for the trip. Summary: - Choice A (4 tanks) is incorrect because the correct calculation shows 5 tanks are needed. - Choice C (6 tanks) is incorrect as it overestimates the number of tanks required. - Choice D (7 tanks) is incorrect as it also overestimates the number of tanks needed based on the given information.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Correct Answer: A Rationale: 1. Sum of two odd numbers is always even (odd + odd = even). 2. Sum of two even numbers is always even (even + even = even). 3. Sum of an odd number and an even number is always odd (odd + even = odd). Therefore, the sum of two odd numbers, two even numbers, an odd number, and an even number would be Even + Even + Odd + Odd = Even. Summary: Choice A is correct as it follows the rules of adding odd and even numbers. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they incorrectly state the outcomes of adding odd and even numbers.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 16 ounces. There are 16 ounces in a pound because this is the standard conversion rate between ounces and pounds. To arrive at this conversion, we can use the fact that 1 pound is equal to 16 ounces. Therefore, if you have 1 pound and you want to convert it to ounces, you would multiply 1 pound by 16 ounces/pound, which gives you 16 ounces. Summary of other choices: A: 8 ounces - This is incorrect because 8 ounces is half of a pound, not the full conversion rate. C: 32 ounces - This is incorrect because 32 ounces is actually equivalent to 2 pounds, not 1 pound. D: 12 ounces - This is incorrect as it is not the standard conversion rate between ounces and pounds.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To find the approximate number of people who voted for the proposition, multiply the town's population by the percentage that voted: 51,623 * 9.5% = 51,623 * 0.095 ≈ 4905. Therefore, the closest choice to this calculated value is B: 5000. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not align with the calculation result and are significantly higher or lower than the estimated number of people who voted based on the given percentage.
