TEAS Practice Test Math

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To find the product of 1.6 and 0.93, we multiply the two numbers as usual: 1.6 * 0.93 = 1.488. The correct decimal placement for the product is C (1.488) because when multiplying decimal numbers, the total number of decimal places in the product should be equal to the sum of decimal places in the numbers being multiplied. In this case, 1.6 has one decimal place and 0.93 has two decimal places, totaling three decimal places. Therefore, the correct answer is 1.488, as it has three decimal places. Explanation for other choices: A: 14.88 - Incorrect as it has an extra decimal place. B: 0.1488 - Incorrect as it has one less decimal place. D: 0.001488 - Incorrect as it has more decimal places than the product of 1.6 * 0.93.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A because a quotient is the result of dividing two numbers. When you divide one number by another, the answer you get is called the quotient. For example, when you divide 10 by 2, the quotient is 5. Choice B is incorrect because the result of multiplying two numbers is called a product, not a quotient. Choice C is incorrect because the number left after subtraction is called a difference, not a quotient. Choice D is incorrect because the number remaining after a division is typically referred to as the remainder, not the quotient.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To find the ratio of girls to boys, we divide the number of girls by the number of boys. In this case, there are 26 girls and 22 boys. So, the ratio of girls to boys is 26:22, which simplifies to 13:11. Therefore, choice B (13:11) is the correct answer. Choice A (26:11) is incorrect because it incorrectly combines the total number of girls with the number of boys. Choice C (13:22) is incorrect because it reverses the order of girls and boys in the ratio. Choice D (11:13) is incorrect because it flips the ratio of girls to boys.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To convert milliliters to liters, divide by 1000 since there are 1000 mL in 1 L. Here, 2500 mL ÷ 1000 = 2.5 L. Therefore, the correct answer is C (2.5 L). Choice A (0.25 L) is incorrect because the decimal point is in the wrong place. Choice B (25 L) and D (250 L) are incorrect as they are significantly higher than the actual conversion.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To find the average time per mile, we calculate the total time taken for both segments (25 minutes for 5 miles + 15 minutes for 3 miles = 40 minutes for 8 miles). Then, we divide the total time by the total distance (40 minutes ÷ 8 miles = 5 minutes per mile). Therefore, the correct answer is B. Choice A (7 minutes) is incorrect because it does not align with the calculated average time per mile of 5 minutes. Choice C (6.5 minutes) is incorrect as it is not the accurate average based on the given data. Choice D (8.5 minutes) is incorrect as it also does not match the calculated average time per mile of 5 minutes.
