TEAS Practice Test Math
1. The hypotenuse (side C) of a triangle is 13 inches long. Which of the following pairs of measurements could be correct for the lengths of the other two sides of the triangle? (Note: A² + B² = C²)
- A. 5 inches, 12 inches
- B. 2.5 inches, 6 inches
- C. 2.5 inches, 4 inches
- D. 5 inches, 8 inches
Correct answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A. Using the Pythagorean theorem (A² + B² = C²), we substitute the values: 5² + 12² = 13². This simplifies to 25 + 144 = 169, which is true. Therefore, 5 inches and 12 inches could be the lengths of the other two sides. Choices B, C, and D do not satisfy the Pythagorean theorem, making them incorrect options.
2. A book has a width of 5 decimeters. What is the width of the book in centimeters?
- A. 0.25 centimeters
- B. 25 centimeters
- C. 250 centimeters
- D. 0.025 centimeters
Correct answer: B
Rationale: To convert decimeters to centimeters, you need to multiply by 10 since 1 decimeter is equal to 10 centimeters. Therefore, to find the width of the book in centimeters, multiply 5 decimeters by 10: 5 decimeters * 10 = 50 centimeters. This means the width of the book is 50 centimeters, making choice B, "25 centimeters," the correct answer. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not correctly convert decimeters to centimeters.
3. What is the area of a square that measures 3.1m on each side?
- A. 12.4m²
- B. 9.61m²
- C. 6.2m²
- D. 9.1m²
Correct answer: B
Rationale: To find the area of a square, you square the length of one side. In this case, the side length is 3.1m. So, Area = side² = 3.1m × 3.1m = 9.61m². Therefore, the correct answer is 9.61m². Choice A (12.4m²) is incorrect as it is the result of multiplying 3.1m by 4 instead of squaring it. Choice C (6.2m²) is incorrect as it is half of the correct answer. Choice D (9.1m²) is incorrect as it is the result of squaring the wrong value (3.1²).
4. A patient requires a 20% decrease in medication dosage. Their current dosage is 400 mg. What will their dosage be after the decrease?
- A. 60 mg
- B. 80 mg
- C. 120 mg
- D. 320 mg
Correct answer: B
Rationale: To calculate a 20% decrease of 400 mg, you multiply 400 mg by 0.20 to get 80 mg. Subtracting 80 mg from the current dosage of 400 mg results in a new dosage of 320 mg. Choice A is incorrect because it miscalculates the decrease. Choice C is incorrect as it represents a 20% increase instead of a decrease. Choice D is incorrect as it represents the initial dosage, not the reduced dosage.
5. What is the value of the sum of 3/4 and 5/8?
- A. 1 3/8
- B. 1 1/2
- C. 1 7/8
- D. 1 5/8
Correct answer: D
Rationale: To find the sum of fractions, they need to have a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator is 8. So, 3/4 = 6/8. Adding 6/8 and 5/8 gives 11/8, which simplifies to 1 3/8. Therefore, the correct answer is 1 3/8, which corresponds to choice A. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not represent the correct sum of 3/4 and 5/8.
