TEAS Test Math Questions
1. A sign stating 'Do Not Enter' is in the shape of a square with side lengths of 75 centimeters. What is the area in square centimeters?
- A. 150
- B. 300
- C. 5,325
- D. 5,625
Correct answer: D
Rationale: The formula for the area of a square is given by the square of its side length: Area = side × side. For this problem, the side length of the square is 75 centimeters. To find the area, you multiply 75 by itself: 75 × 75 = 5,625 square centimeters. Thus, the area of the square is 5,625 cm². This shows that option D is correct. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not correspond to the correct calculation of the area of a square with a side length of 75 centimeters.
2. If Sarah reads at an average rate of 21 pages in four nights, how long will it take her to read 140 pages?
- A. 6 nights
- B. 26 nights
- C. 8 nights
- D. 27 nights
Correct answer: D
Rationale: If Sarah reads 21 pages in four nights, she reads at a rate of 21 / 4 = 5.25 pages per night. To read 140 pages, she would need 140 / 5.25 = 26.67 nights. Since she cannot read a fraction of a night, it would take her 27 nights to read 140 pages, making option D the correct answer. Option A is incorrect as it does not accurately reflect the calculation. Option B is incorrect as it does not consider the fractional part of the calculation, resulting in an inaccurate answer. Option C is incorrect as it does not align with the correct calculation based on Sarah's reading rate.
3. A patient requires a 30% decrease in their medication dosage. Their current dosage is 340 mg. What will their dosage be after the decrease?
- A. 70 mg
- B. 238 mg
- C. 270 mg
- D. 340 mg
Correct answer: B
Rationale: To calculate a 30% decrease of 340 mg, multiply 340 by 0.30 to get 102. Subtracting 102 from 340 gives a new dosage of 238 mg. Choice A (70 mg) is incorrect as it represents a 80% decrease, not 30%. Choice C (270 mg) is incorrect as it does not reflect a decrease but rather the original dosage. Choice D (340 mg) is incorrect as it is the original dosage and not reduced by 30%.
4. On a highway map, the scale indicates that 1 inch represents 45 miles. If the distance on the map is 3.2 inches, how far is the actual distance?
- A. 45 miles
- B. 54 miles
- C. 112 miles
- D. 144 miles
Correct answer: D
Rationale: To find the actual distance represented by 3.2 inches on the map, we use the scale of 1 inch representing 45 miles. Setting up the proportion 1 inch = 45 miles, we can calculate the actual distance by multiplying 3.2 inches by 45 miles, which equals 144 miles. Therefore, the correct answer is 144 miles. Choice A (45 miles) is incorrect as it represents the distance for 1 inch on the map, not for 3.2 inches. Choices B (54 miles) and C (112 miles) are incorrect calculations based on a misinterpretation of the scale.
5. Which of the following is listed in order from least to greatest? (-2, -3/4, -0.45, 3%, 0.36)
- A. -2, -3/4, -0.45, 3%, 0.36
- B. -3/4, -0.45, -2, 0.36, 3%
- C. -0.45, -2, -3/4, 3%, 0.36
- D. -2, -3/4, -0.45, 0.36, 3%
Correct answer: A
Rationale: To determine the order from least to greatest, convert all the values to a common form. When written in decimal form, the order is -2, -0.75 (which is equal to -3/4), -0.45, 0.03 (which is equal to 3%), and 0.36. Therefore, the correct order is -2, -3/4, -0.45, 3%, 0.36 (Choice A). Choice B is incorrect as it has the incorrect placement of -2 and 0.36. Choice C is incorrect as it incorrectly places -0.45 before -2. Choice D is incorrect as it incorrectly places 0.36 before 3%.
