TEAS 7 Math Practice Test
1. A patient requires a 30% increase in the dosage of their medication. Their current dosage is 270 mg. What will their dosage be after the increase?
- A. 81 mg
- B. 270 mg
- C. 300 mg
- D. 351 mg
Correct answer: D
Rationale: To calculate the 30% increase, find 30% of 270 mg: 0.30 x 270 mg = 81 mg. Add this increase to the original dosage: 270 mg + 81 mg = 351 mg. Therefore, the patient's dosage after the 30% increase will be 351 mg. Choice A (81 mg) is incorrect as it only represents the calculated increase, not the total dosage post-increase. Choice B (270 mg) is the original dosage and does not account for the 30% increase. Choice C (300 mg) is the original dosage plus 30 mg, not the correct calculation with a 30% increase.
2. Simplify the following expression: 3 (1/6) - 1 (5/6)
- A. 2 (1/3)
- B. 1 (1/3)
- C. 2 (1/9)
- D. 5/6
Correct answer: B
Rationale: To simplify: First, subtract the whole numbers: 3 - 1 = 2. Then, subtract the fractions: (1/6) - (5/6) = - (4/6) = - (2/3). Now, subtract (2 - 2/3) = 1 (1/3).
3. What is the mathematical expression for 'Twelve less than thrice a number'?
- A. 3x-12
- B. 12-3x
- C. 3-12x
- D. 12x-3
Correct answer: A
Rationale: The phrase 'thrice a number' translates to 3x, and 'twelve less than' means subtracting 12 from it. Therefore, the correct expression is 3x-12. Choice B, '12-3x', represents '12 less than a number thrice,' which is the opposite of the given phrase. Choice C, '3-12x', does not correctly interpret the phrase provided. Choice D, '12x-3', represents 'a number thrice less than twelve,' which is not the same as the original phrase.
4. If m represents a car’s average mileage in miles per gallon, p represents the price of gas in dollars per gallon, and d represents a distance in miles, which of the following algebraic equations represents the cost, c, of gas per mile?
- A. c = dp/m
- B. c = p/m
- C. c = mp/d
- D. c = m/p
Correct answer: B
Rationale: The cost of gas per mile, c, is calculated by dividing the price of gas, represented by p, by the car's average mileage, represented by m. Therefore, the correct equation is c = p/m. Choice A (dp/m) incorrectly multiplies the price of gas and distance, while choice C (mp/d) incorrectly multiplies the average mileage and price of gas. Choice D (m/p) incorrectly divides the average mileage by the price of gas, which does not represent the cost of gas per mile.
5. Lauren must travel a distance of 1,480 miles to get to her destination. She plans to drive approximately the same number of miles per day for 5 days. Which of the following is a reasonable estimate of the number of miles she will drive per day?
- A. 240 miles
- B. 260 miles
- C. 300 miles
- D. 340 miles
Correct answer: C
Rationale: To estimate the number of miles Lauren will drive per day, the total distance can be rounded to 1,500 miles. Divide this by the number of days she plans to drive, which is 5. 1,500 miles / 5 days = 300 miles per day. Therefore, a reasonable estimate for the number of miles she will drive per day is 300. Choice A (240 miles) is too low, Choice B (260 miles) is slightly low, and Choice D (340 miles) is too high when considering the total distance and the number of days Lauren plans to drive.
