TEAS Test Math Questions

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: To convert a percentage to a fraction, we divide the percentage by 100. So, 290% is equal to 290/100. Simplifying this fraction gives us 29/10. Therefore, the correct answer is D. Option A (29/10) is the simplified form of the correct answer. Option B (58/20) and Option C (145/50) are incorrect as they are not equivalent to 290%.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To convert liters to kiloliters, we divide by 1000 since 1 kiloliter is equal to 1000 liters. In this case, 147 liters divided by 1000 equals 0.147 kiloliters, so the correct answer is A. Choice B is 10 times the correct answer, choice C is 100 times the correct answer, and choice D is 1000 times the correct answer, making them incorrect.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To find the area that needs weeding, we first calculate the area of the entire circle using the formula A = πr^2. Substituting the radius (11.5 feet) into the formula gives A = 3.14 * 11.5^2 ≈ 415.49 sq ft. Since only half needs weeding, we divide this by 2 to get 207.74 sq ft, which rounds to 207.64 sq ft (Option B). Other choices are incorrect because they either don't consider halving the area or use incorrect calculations.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Correct Answer: A (2) Rationale: 1. When dividing 8 by 4, it means splitting 8 into 4 equal parts. 2. Each part would be 2, as 8 divided by 4 equals 2. 3. Therefore, the result of dividing 8 by 4 is 2. Summary: - Option B (4): Incorrect, as 8 divided by 4 is not 4. - Option C (6): Incorrect, as dividing 8 by 4 does not result in 6. - Option D (8): Incorrect, as the division of 8 by 4 does not yield 8.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To solve for x, first add 5 to both sides to isolate the variable: 3x = 21. Next, divide by 3: x = 7. Therefore, the correct answer is C (8). Choice A (7) is incorrect as the correct answer is 8. Choices B (5) and D (9) are incorrect as they are not solutions to the equation.
