TEAS Math Practice Test
1. What is the mode of the set of numbers {4, 4, 5, 7, 8}?
- A. 4
- B. 5
- C. 7
- D. 8
Correct answer: A
Rationale: The mode of a set of numbers is the value that appears most frequently. In the given set {4, 4, 5, 7, 8}, the number 4 appears twice, which is more frequent than any other number. Therefore, the mode of this set is 4. Choice B, 5, is incorrect as it only appears once in the set. Choices C and D, 7 and 8 respectively, also appear only once each, making them less frequent than the number 4.
2. Which of the following options correctly orders the numbers below from least to greatest? 235.971, 145.884, -271.906, -193.823
- A. -271.906, -193.823, 145.884, 235.971
- B. -271.906, 235.971, -193.823, 145.884
- C. 145.884, -193.823, 235.971, -271.906
- D. -193.823, -271.906, 145.884, 235.971
Correct answer: A
Rationale: To correctly order the numbers from least to greatest, we start with the smallest number, which is -271.906, followed by -193.823, 145.884, and finally 235.971. Therefore, the correct order is -271.906, -193.823, 145.884, 235.971. Choice A is correct. Choice B is incorrect as it incorrectly places 235.971 before -193.823. Choice C is incorrect as it starts with the largest number, 145.884. Choice D is incorrect as it starts with -193.823, which is not the smallest number in the list.
3. In a fraction, which number is the numerator and which is the denominator?
- A. Numerator: top, Denominator: bottom
- B. Numerator: bottom, Denominator: top
- C. Numerator: left, Denominator: right
- D. Numerator: right, Denominator: left
Correct answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'Numerator: top, Denominator: bottom.' In a fraction, the numerator is the top number, representing the part of the whole being considered, while the denominator is the bottom number, indicating the total number of equal parts into which the whole is divided. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they provide inaccurate descriptions of the numerator and denominator positions in a fraction.
4. One roommate is saving to buy a house, so each month, he puts money aside in a special house savings account. The ratio of his monthly house savings to his rent is 1:3. If he pays $270 per month in rent, how much money does he put into his house savings account each month?
- A. $90
- B. $270
- C. $730
- D. $810
Correct answer: A
Rationale: The ratio of his savings to his rent is 1:3, which means that for every $3 he pays in rent, he saves $1 for the purchase of a house. To calculate the amount saved, divide $270 by 3: $270 รท 3 = $90. Therefore, he puts $90 into his house savings account each month. Choice B, $270, is incorrect because that is the amount he pays in rent, not the amount saved. Choices C and D, $730 and $810, are incorrect as they do not align with the 1:3 ratio described in the question.
5. Four people split a bill. The first person pays 1/5, the second person pays 1/3, and the third person pays 1/12. What fraction of the bill does the fourth person pay?
- A. 1/4
- B. 13/60
- C. 47/60
- D. 1/4
Correct answer: C
Rationale: To find the fourth person's share, subtract the fractions paid by the first three people from the total bill (1). The first person pays 1/5, the second person pays 1/3, and the third person pays 1/12. Adding these fractions gives 7/15. Subtracting this from 1 gives the fourth person's share as 8/15, which simplifies to 4/5. Therefore, the fourth person pays 4/5 of the bill. Option A (1/4) is incorrect because it does not consider the fractions paid by the first three people. Option B (13/60) is incorrect as it is not the remainder after subtracting the first three fractions from 1. Option D (1/4) is a duplicate of Option A and is also incorrect.
