TEAS Test Math Questions

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C because in multiplication and division, the product of the quotient and the divisor is indeed the dividend. To understand this, consider a division problem like 12 ÷ 3 = 4. Here, 4 (quotient) multiplied by 3 (divisor) equals 12 (dividend). Therefore, the product of the quotient and the divisor equals the dividend. Choice A is incorrect as it doesn't align with the relationship between quotient, dividend, and divisor in division. Choice B is incorrect as it reverses the relationship between dividend and divisor in multiplication. Choice D is incorrect as there is a correct statement among the choices.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: To find the area of a circle, we use the formula A = πr^2, where r is the radius. Since the diameter is 16 cm, the radius is half of that, which is 8 cm. Plugging this into the formula, A = 3.14 * 8^2 = 3.14 * 64 = 200.96 cm^2. Therefore, the correct answer is D. Choice A: 25.12 - This is incorrect as it is much smaller than the correct answer. Choice B: 50.24 - This is incorrect as it is also smaller than the correct answer. Choice C: 100.48 - This is incorrect as it is still smaller than the correct answer.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To determine the smallest decimal, compare the digits from left to right. In choice C (2.002), the first non-zero digit is in the thousandths place, making it smaller than choices A, B, and D. Choice A (2.22) has the first non-zero digit in the tenths place, making it larger than choice C. Choice B (2.02) has a smaller tenths place digit than choice A but a larger hundredths place digit, still making it larger than choice C. Choice D (2.2) has the first non-zero digit in the tenths place, which is larger than choice C. Therefore, the correct answer is C (2.002) as it has the smallest value among the given options.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To convert fluid ounces to gallons, we know that 128 fluid ounces = 1 gallon. Therefore, for 1,000 fluid ounces, we divide 1,000 by 128 to get approximately 7.8125 gallons (A). The correct answer is A because it correctly represents the conversion of fluid ounces to gallons. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the conversion factor. B is twice the correct answer, C is four times, and D is eight times the correct conversion.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: To find the area of a square, you square the length of one side. In this case, the side length is 75 cm. Therefore, the area is 75 cm x 75 cm = 5,625 square cm. Option D is correct. Option A (150) is too small as it represents the perimeter of the square. Option B (300) is incorrect as it is half the correct area. Option C (5,325) is incorrect as it is much larger than the correct area.
