TEAS Math Practice Test
1. If 5y - 7 = 13, what is y?
- A. 4
- B. 5
- C. 6
- D. 7
Correct answer: A
Rationale: To solve the equation 5y - 7 = 13, start by adding 7 to both sides to isolate the term with y: 5y = 20. Then, divide by 5 to solve for y, which gives y = 4. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choice B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not yield the correct solution when substituted into the equation. It's important to follow the proper steps in solving linear equations to arrive at the correct answer.
2. Kyle has $950 in savings and wishes to donate one-fifth of it to 8 local charities. He estimates that he will donate around $30 to each charity. Which of the following correctly describes the reasonableness of his estimate?
- A. It is reasonable because $190 is one-fifth of $950
- B. It is reasonable because $190 is less than one-fifth of $1,000
- C. It is not reasonable because $240 is more than one-fifth of $1,000
- D. It is not reasonable because $240 is one-fifth of $1,000
Correct answer: C
Rationale: Kyle initially had $950 in savings, and one-fifth of that amount would be $190. Since he wishes to donate around $30 to each charity, the total amount he would donate to 8 local charities would be $30 x 8 = $240. This amount is more than one-fifth of $1,000, making the estimate not reasonable. Choice A is incorrect because $190 is the correct one-fifth of $950, not $900. Choice B is incorrect as it compares $190 to a different amount ($1,000) rather than the actual total. Choice D is incorrect as it states that $240 is one-fifth of $1,000, which is inaccurate.
3. A consumer makes a $400 down payment on a television that costs $1,570. Which of the following is the number of months it will take to pay off the television with monthly payments of $100?
- A. 12
- B. 16
- C. 15
- D. 11
Correct answer: A
Rationale: After the $400 down payment, the remaining balance is $1,170. With monthly payments of $100, it will take 12 months to pay off the remaining balance. Therefore, the correct answer is 12 months. Choice B (16) is incorrect as it exceeds the required timeframe. Choice C (15) is incorrect as it is close but still one month over the correct timeframe. Choice D (11) is incorrect as it underestimates the time needed to pay off the remaining balance.
4. 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.
5. What number is 20 equal to 40% of?
- A. 50
- B. 8
- C. 200
- D. 5000
Correct answer: A
Rationale: To find the number that 20 is equal to 40% of, you can set up the equation: 20 = 0.4 * x, where x is the unknown number. To solve for x, divide both sides of the equation by 0.4. This gives x = 20 / 0.4 = 50. Therefore, 20 is 40% of 50. Choice B, 8, is incorrect because 20 is not equal to 40% of 8. Choice C, 200, is incorrect because 20 is not equal to 40% of 200. Choice D, 5000, is incorrect because 20 is not equal to 40% of 5000. The correct answer is 50.
