TEAS Math Questions

1. Two boxes are stacked, one measuring 4 inches tall and the other 6 inches tall. What is the total height of the stacked boxes?

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find the total height of the stacked boxes, you need to add the height of each box together. Therefore, 4 inches (height of the first box) + 6 inches (height of the second box) = 10 inches, which is the total height of the stacked boxes. Choice B (12 inches) is incorrect because it adds the heights incorrectly. Choice C (8 inches) is incorrect as it does not consider both box heights. Choice D (9 inches) is incorrect as it also does not add the heights accurately.

2. Express 18/5 as a reduced mixed number.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: 18/5 = 3 with a remainder of 3, so it is 3 3/5. 3 1/15 is equivalent to 46/15 which is greater than 18/5 3 1/18 converts to 55/18 which is also greater than 18/5 3 1/54 converts to 163/54

3. What is the mean for the data set 16, 18, 17, 15, 19, 14, 12, 11, 10, 16, 18, and 17?

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To find the mean of a data set, you add up all the values and then divide by the total number of values. In this case, the sum of the data set is 185. Dividing this sum by the total number of values (12) gives you a mean of 16. Therefore, the correct answer is 16. Choice A (14.25), Choice B (15.25), and Choice D (17) are incorrect because they do not accurately represent the average value of the given data set.

4. As the number of credit hours a student takes in a semester increases, the amount of tuition, the amount of access fees, and the number of student loans available also increase. Which of the following is the independent variable?

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is the number of credit hours. In this scenario, the number of credit hours is the independent variable because it is the factor that is intentionally changed or manipulated. The amount of tuition, access fees, and student loans are dependent variables as they are influenced by the number of credit hours a student takes. The number of credit hours drives the changes in the other factors, making it the independent variable.

5. How many feet are in 9 yards?

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To convert yards to feet, you need to know that 1 yard is equal to 3 feet. Therefore, to find out how many feet are in 9 yards, you multiply 9 by 3, which equals 27 feet. Choice A (45 ft) is incorrect as it miscalculates by multiplying 9 by 5 instead of 3. Choice B (18 ft) incorrectly multiplies 9 by 2. Choice C (36 ft) is incorrect as it doubles the answer of 18 feet, which is also an incorrect calculation.
