TEAS Practice Math Test

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: x + 4 = (1/3)y - 2. To break down the equation: 1. "Four more than a number, x" can be represented as x + 4. 2. "2 less than 1/3 of another number, y" can be represented as (1/3)y - 2. 3. Combining the two expressions gives x + 4 = (1/3)y - 2, which correctly represents the given sentence. Other choices are incorrect because they do not accurately capture the relationship between x and y as described in the sentence. Choice B incorrectly sets 4x equal to 2 minus 1/3 of y, while choices C and D have incorrect signs and placements of terms.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To determine the correct order, we convert all values to decimals or percentages. First, convert -3/4 to -0.75, then 3% to 0.03. Now, the order becomes -2, -0.75, -0.45, 0.03, 0.36. The correct order is A: -2, -3/4, -0.45, 3%, 0.36. This is correct because -2 is the least, followed by -0.75, then -0.45, 0.03, and finally 0.36. Other choices are incorrect because they do not follow the correct numerical order.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: To convert grams to milligrams, you need to multiply by 1000 because 1 gram = 1000 milligrams. Therefore, to find how many milligrams are in 5 grams, you would multiply 5 grams by 1000, resulting in 5000 milligrams. Option D is correct. Option A is incorrect as it represents a conversion from grams to micrograms, not milligrams. Option B is incorrect as it is a tenth of the correct answer. Option C is incorrect as it is only a hundredth of the correct answer.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To calculate the total cost, first multiply the daily rental cost by the number of days ($50 * 3 = $150). Then, multiply the cost per mile by the total miles driven ($0.25 * 120 = $30). Add these two amounts ($150 + $30 = $180). Therefore, the correct total cost is $180. Among the choices, only option A ($156) is incorrect as it does not match the calculated total cost. Option B ($190) is incorrect as it is higher than the correct total cost. Option C ($165) is incorrect as it is also higher than the correct total cost. Option D ($210) is incorrect as it is higher than the correct total cost.
