TEAS Practice Math Test
1. The first midwife uses 2/5 of her monthly contribution to pay for rent and utilities. She saves half of the remainder for incidental expenditures, and uses the rest of the money to purchase medical supplies. How much money does she spend on medical supplies each month?
- A. $600
- B. $800
- C. $1,000
- D. $1,200
Correct answer: A
Rationale: The first midwife contributes $2000. She spends $800 on rent and utilities. After paying for rent and utilities, $1200 remains. Half of this amount, which is $600, is saved for incidental expenditures. Therefore, the first midwife spends the remaining $600 on purchasing medical supplies each month. Choice A, $600, is the correct answer. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not accurately reflect the amount spent on medical supplies as calculated in the given scenario.
2. What is the perimeter of a rectangle with a length of 12 cm and a width of 5 cm?
- A. 17 cm
- B. 24 cm
- C. 34 cm
- D. 40 cm
Correct answer: C
Rationale: The correct formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is P = 2(l + w), where l represents the length and w represents the width. Substituting the given values into the formula: P = 2(12 cm + 5 cm) = 2(17 cm) = 34 cm. Therefore, the perimeter of the rectangle is 34 cm. Choice A (17 cm) is incorrect as it seems to have added only the length and width without multiplying by 2. Choice B (24 cm) is incorrect as it does not consider the multiplication by 2. Choice D (40 cm) is incorrect as it seems to have added the length and width without multiplying by 2.
3. A triangle has dimensions of 9 cm, 4 cm, and 7 cm. The triangle is reduced by a scale factor of x. Which of the following represents the dimensions of the dilated triangle?
- A. 8.25 cm, 3.25 cm, 6.25 cm
- B. 4.5 cm, 2 cm, 3.5 cm
- C. 6.75 cm, 3 cm, 5.25 cm
- D. 4.95 cm, 2.2 cm, 3.85 cm
Correct answer: C
Rationale: When reducing a figure by a scale factor, each dimension is multiplied by the same scale factor. In this case, the scale factor is not provided in the question. To find the scale factor, you would divide the new lengths of the sides by the original lengths. The scaled-down triangle's dimensions are the original dimensions multiplied by the scale factor. By performing the calculations, the dimensions of the dilated triangle are 6.75 cm, 3 cm, and 5.25 cm, which matches choice C. Choices A, B, and D have incorrect dimensions as they do not result from the correct application of the scale factor to the original triangle's dimensions.
4. Within a nursing program, 25% of the class wanted to work with infants, 60% wanted to work with the elderly, 10% wanted to assist general practitioners, and the rest were undecided. What fraction of the class wanted to work with the elderly?
- A. 1/4
- B. 1/10
- C. 3/5
- D. 1/20
Correct answer: C
Rationale: To find the fraction of the class wanting to work with the elderly, we convert the percentage to a fraction. 60% can be written as 60/100, which simplifies to 3/5. Therefore, 3/5 of the class wanted to work with the elderly. Choice A (1/4), choice B (1/10), and choice D (1/20) do not represent the fraction of the class wanting to work with the elderly, making them incorrect.
5. Round 8.067 to the nearest tenth.
- A. 8.1
- B. 8.1
- C. 8
- D. 8.11
Correct answer: A
Rationale: To round 8.067 to the nearest tenth, you look at the digit in the hundredth place, which is 6. Since 6 is equal to or greater than 5, you round up the digit in the tenth place. Therefore, 8.067 rounded to the nearest tenth is 8.1. Choice B (8.1) is incorrect as it duplicates the correct answer. Choice C (8) is incorrect as it does not account for the decimal part. Choice D (8.11) is incorrect as it rounds the number to the nearest hundredth, not the nearest tenth.
