TEAS Exam Math Practice

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To convert 8 pounds and 8 ounces to kilograms, first convert pounds to kilograms (1 lb = 0.453592 kg) and ounces to kilograms (1 oz = 0.0283495 kg). So, 8 lbs + 8 oz is approximately 3.9 kg. Therefore, choice B (3.9 kilograms) is the correct equivalent. Choice A (3.6 kg) is too low, and choices C (17.6 kg) and D (18.7 kg) are too high based on the conversion rates.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To calculate Annie's total bill: 1. Cost of shirts: 5 shirts x $3 = $15 2. Cost of pants: 4 pants x $6 = $24 3. Cost of mending: 2 items x $5 = $10 4. Subtotal = $15 + $24 + $10 = $49 5. Add 8% sales tax: $49 x 0.08 = $3.92 6. Total bill = $49 + $3.92 = $52.92 Therefore, the correct answer is C ($52.92). The other choices are incorrect because they do not accurately factor in the cost of mending and sales tax. Option A, B, and D do not consider the additional charges for mending and tax, leading to incorrect totals.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To find the number of hosts, we first need to determine the total number of parts in the ratio, which is 9 + 2 + 1 = 12 parts. Then, for hosts, we calculate (2/12) * 36 = 6 hosts. Therefore, the correct answer is C. Choice A (3) is incorrect because it does not properly reflect the ratio provided. Choice B (4) is incorrect as well because it does not align with the ratio. Choice D (8) is incorrect because it exceeds the total number of employees in the restaurant.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To round 2.7834 to the nearest tenth, we look at the digit in the hundredths place, which is 8. Since 8 is 5 or greater, we round up the tenths place digit by 1. Therefore, 2.7834 rounded to the nearest tenth is 2.8 (Choice C). Choice A (2.7) is incorrect because rounding down would be incorrect based on the given number. Choice B (2.78) is incorrect because rounding to the nearest tenth requires looking at the hundredths place. Choice D (2.88) is incorrect as it doesn't follow the rounding rules for the nearest tenth.
