TEAS Practice Math Test
1. The number of vacuum cleaners sold by a company per month during Year 1 is listed below: 18, 42, 29, 40, 24, 17, 29, 44, 19, 33, 46, 39. Which of the following is true?
- A. The mean is less than the median
- B. The mode is greater than the median
- C. The mode is less than the mean, median, and range
- D. The mode is equal to the range
Correct answer: D
Rationale: The mean number of vacuum cleaners sold per month is 31.7, the mode is 29, the median is 31, and the range is 29. The mode being equal to the range is the correct statement. Option A is incorrect because the mean (31.7) is greater than the median (31). Option B is incorrect as the mode (29) is not greater than the median (31). Option C is incorrect since the mode (29) is not less than the mean, median, or range.
2. Which of the following algebraic equations correctly represents the sentence 'Four more than a number, x, is 2 less than 1/3 of another number, y'?
- A. x + 4 = (1/3)y - 2
- B. 4x = 2 - (1/3)y
- C. 4 - x = 2 + (1/3)y
- D. x + 4 = 2 - (1/3)y
Correct answer: A
Rationale: To represent 'Four more than a number, x', we write x + 4. This is equal to '2 less than 1/3 of another number, y', which translates to 1/3y - 2. Therefore, the correct equation is x + 4 = (1/3)y - 2. Choice B is incorrect as it incorrectly combines the values of x and y. Choice C is incorrect as it doesn't properly relate x and y with the given conditions. Choice D is incorrect as it doesn't correctly represent the relationship between x and y according to the given statement.
3. Which of the following is listed in order from least to greatest?
- A. -2 3/4, -2 7/8, -1/5, 2/5, 1/8
- B. -1/5, 1/8, 2/5, -2 3/4, -2 7/8
- C. -2 7/8, -2 3/4, -1/5, 1/8, 2/5
- D. 1/8, 2/5, -1/5, -2 7/8, -2 3/4
Correct answer: C
Rationale: To determine the order from least to greatest, we can convert all fractions and mixed numbers to decimals or use a least common denominator. Converting the fractions in Choice C to decimals, we get -2.875, -2.75, -0.2, 0.125, and 0.4 when reading from left to right. Negative integers with larger absolute values are less than negative integers with smaller absolute values. Therefore, the correct answer is Choice C. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not present the numbers in the correct order from least to greatest when converted to decimals or compared using common denominators.
4. What is the median of Pernell's scores (81, 92, 87, 89, and 94)?
- A. 87
- B. 89
- C. 92
- D. 94
Correct answer: B
Rationale: To find the median, we first need to arrange the scores in ascending order: 81, 87, 89, 92, 94. Since there are five scores, the middle score would be the third one, which is 89. Hence, the median of Pernell's scores is 89. Choice A (87) is incorrect because it is the second score in the ordered list, not the middle one. Choice C (92) and Choice D (94) are also incorrect as they are not positioned in the middle of the ordered series.
5. A rectangular solid box has a square base with a side length of 5 feet and a height of h feet. If the volume of the box is 200 cubic feet, which of the following equations can be used to find h?
- A. 5h = 200
- B. 5h² = 200
- C. 25h = 200
- D. h = 200 ÷ 5
Correct answer: C
Rationale: The volume formula for a rectangular solid is V = l × w × h. In this case, the length and width are both 5 feet. Substituting the values into the formula gives V = 5 × 5 × h = 25h = 200. Therefore, h = 200 ÷ 25 = 8. Option A is incorrect because the product of length, width, and height is not directly equal to the volume. Option B is incorrect as squaring the height is not part of the volume formula. Option D is incorrect as it oversimplifies the relationship between height and volume, not considering the base dimensions.
