TEAS Practice Math Test

1. What is the surface area of the cylinder shown below?

A. 602.9 cm²
B. 904.3 cm²
C. 1,408.7 cm²
D. 1,507.2 cm²

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The surface area of a cylinder can be calculated using the formula: S = 2πr² + 2πrh, where r is the radius and h is the height. Substituting the values for radius (12) and height (8) into the formula: S = 2π(12)² + 2π(12)(8). S = 2π(144) + 2π(96). S = 288π + 192π. S = 480π ≈ 1507.964. Therefore, the surface area of the cylinder is approximately 1507.2 square centimeters. Choice A, 602.9 cm², is incorrect as it is significantly lower than the correct value. Choice B, 904.3 cm², is also incorrect as it does not match the calculated surface area. Choice C, 1,408.7 cm², is incorrect as it does not align with the calculated value of the surface area.

2. If a car travels 150 miles in 3 hours, what is the car's average speed in miles per hour?

A. 45 mph
B. 50 mph
C. 55 mph
D. 60 mph

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To calculate the average speed, use the formula: Average speed = Total distance / Total time. In this case, Average speed = 150 miles / 3 hours = 50 mph. Therefore, the car's average speed is 50 miles per hour. Choice A (45 mph), Choice C (55 mph), and Choice D (60 mph) are incorrect as they do not match the correct calculation based on the given distance and time values.

3. The cost of renting a car is $50 per day plus $0.25 per mile driven. If a customer rents the car for 3 days and drives 120 miles, what is the total cost?

A. $156
B. $190
C. $165
D. $210

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To calculate the total cost, first, multiply the number of days by the cost per day: 3 days x $50/day = $150. Then, multiply the number of miles driven by the cost per mile: 120 miles x $0.25 = $30. Finally, add the two amounts together: $150 (daily cost) + $30 (mileage cost) = $180. Therefore, the correct total cost is $180, which corresponds to choice A. The other choices are incorrect because they do not reflect the accurate calculation of $150 for the daily cost and $30 for the mileage cost.

4. How much did he save from the original price?

A. $170
B. $212.50
C. $105.75
D. $200

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To calculate the amount saved from the original price, you need to subtract the discounted price from the original price. The formula is: Original price - Discounted price = Amount saved. In this case, the original price was $850, and the discounted price was $637.50. Therefore, $850 - $637.50 = $212.50. Hence, he saved $212.50 from the original price. Choice A ($170) is incorrect as it is not the correct amount saved. Choice C ($105.75) is incorrect as it does not match the calculated savings. Choice D ($200) is incorrect as it is not the accurate amount saved based on the given prices.

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.
