Math Practice TEAS Test

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Feet are larger; 1 foot is 0.3048 meters. To determine which is larger, we need to compare the conversion factor. 1 foot is equal to 0.3048 meters, indicating that a foot is smaller than a meter. Therefore, meters are larger than feet. Choice B is incorrect because 1 meter is equivalent to 3.28 feet, showing that a meter is larger. Choice C is incorrect as 1 foot is not 0.5 meters, and Choice D is incorrect as 1 meter is not 2 feet.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A because in a fraction, the numerator is the number written on the top, representing the parts being considered, while the denominator is the number written on the bottom, representing the total number of equal parts the whole is divided into. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not align with the standard mathematical convention where the numerator is always placed above the denominator in a fraction representation. B, C, and D provide misleading and incorrect information regarding the position and role of the numerator and denominator in a fraction.

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: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 1328.35. To calculate the total cost, we first add up the costs of airfare, hotel (5 nights), sightseeing, and meals. Next, we calculate the cost of additional hotel nights after the 10% discount. Finally, we sum up all the costs to get the total amount Margery will spend. The other choices are incorrect because they do not follow the correct calculation process or include the discount on additional hotel nights.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To determine how many questions Joshua must answer correctly, we set up the inequality: 4x > 92, where x represents the number of questions answered correctly. With 30 questions, Joshua needs more than 92 points, meaning he must score more than (30 questions * 4 points per question = 120 points). Therefore, answer B (4x > 92) is correct. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the requirement of scoring more than 92 points to qualify for the scholarship.
