TEAS Math Questions

1. Veronica has to create the holiday schedule for the neonatal unit at her hospital. She knows that 35% of the staff members will not be available because they are taking vacation days during the holiday. Of the remaining staff members who will be available, only 20% are certified to work in the neonatal unit. What percentage of the total staff is certified and available to work in the neonatal unit during the holiday?

A. 0.07
B. 0.13
C. 0.65
D. 0.8

Correct answer: A

Rationale: After 35% of the staff is on vacation, 65% remain. Of these remaining staff, 20% are certified to work in the neonatal unit. To find the percentage of the total staff that is certified and available, we calculate 20% of the 65% remaining staff: 0.2 * 65% = 13%. Therefore, 13% of the total staff is certified and available to work in the neonatal unit during the holiday. The correct answer is 0.13. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately represent the correct percentage calculation based on the given information.

2. Solve the equation 8x − 6 = 3x + 24. Which of the following is the correct solution?

A. x = 2.5
B. x = 3.6
C. x = 5
D. x = 6

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To solve the equation 8x − 6 = 3x + 24, start by adding 6 to both sides: 8x − 6 + 6 = 3x + 24 + 6, which simplifies to 8x = 3x + 30. Next, subtract 3x from both sides to get 5x = 30. Finally, divide both sides by 5 to solve for x: x = 6. Therefore, the correct solution is x = 6. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not result from the correct algebraic manipulation of the equation.

3. If 1 inch on a map represents 60 ft, how many yards apart are two points if the distance between the points on the map is 10 inches?

A. 1800
B. 600
C. 200
D. 2

Correct answer: B

Rationale: If 1 inch on the map represents 60 ft, then for 10 inches on the map, the actual distance would be 10 inches x 60 ft = 600 ft. To convert this to yards, we know that 1 yard equals 3 feet. Therefore, the distance between the two points is 600 ft / 3 ft/yard = 200 yards. Choice A (1800) is incorrect because it incorrectly multiplies by 10 again instead of converting to yards. Choice C (200) is incorrect because it fails to adjust the measurement from feet to yards. Choice D (2) is incorrect as it does not consider the correct conversion factor from feet to yards.

4. What is a quotient?

A. The result of dividing two numbers
B. The result of multiplying two numbers
C. The number left after subtraction
D. The number remaining after a division

Correct answer: A

Rationale: A quotient is the result of dividing one number by another. Choice A is correct because it accurately defines a quotient as the outcome of a division operation. Choice B is incorrect because it describes the result of multiplying two numbers, not dividing them. Choice C is incorrect because it refers to the remainder of a subtraction operation, not a division. Choice D is incorrect because it mentions the number remaining after a division, which is typically referred to as the remainder and not the quotient.

5. What is 4.6 rounded to the nearest integer?

A. 3
B. 4
C. 5
D. 6

Correct answer: C

Rationale: When rounding a decimal number to the nearest integer, if the decimal part is 0.5 or greater, we round up to the next integer; if it is less than 0.5, we round down. In this case, 4.6 is closer to 5 than to 4 because it is exactly halfway between the two integers. Therefore, when rounding 4.6 to the nearest integer, we round up to 5. Choice A (3), B (4), and D (6) are incorrect as they are not the nearest integer to 4.6.
