TEAS Math Practice Test

1. If 𝑛 = 8, then n is between which of the following ranges?

A. 5 and 7
B. 7 and 9
C. 9 and 11
D. 3 and 5

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To find the range where n lies when n = 8, we consider numbers greater and lesser than 8. The range would be between 7 and 9, not 9 and 11 as stated in the original rationale. Option A (5 and 7) and Option D (3 and 5) are lower ranges, while Option C (9 and 11) exceeds the upper limit.

2. A sweater that normally sells for $78 is marked 15% off. Which of the following estimates the sale price of the sweater?

A. $12
B. $66
C. $22
D. $69

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To find the sale price after a 15% discount, you calculate 15% of $78, which is $11.70. Subtracting $11.70 from the original price gives $66.30. Since the price is typically rounded, the estimated sale price is $66. Choice A, $12, is too low and does not reflect a 15% discount off $78. Choice C, $22, and choice D, $69, are also incorrect as they do not accurately estimate the sale price after a 15% discount.

3. What is the range in the number of flights the flight attendant made?

A. 20
B. 25
C. 29
D. 32

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The range is calculated as the difference between the largest and smallest values in a dataset. In this case, the largest number of flights made by the flight attendant in a month was 79, and the smallest number was 54. Therefore, the range is 79 - 54 = 25. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not reflect the correct calculation of the range based on the given data.

4. How do you find the radius of a circle when given the diameter? How do you find the radius of a circle when given the circumference?

A. Radius = Diameter ÷ 2; Radius = Circumference ÷ 2π
B. Radius = Diameter ÷ 3; Radius = Circumference ÷ π
C. Radius = Diameter × 2; Radius = Circumference × 2π
D. Radius = Diameter ÷ 4; Radius = Circumference ÷ π

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct way to find the radius of a circle when given the diameter is by dividing the diameter by 2 to get the radius (Radius = Diameter ÷ 2). When given the circumference, you need to divide the circumference by 2π to find the radius (Radius = Circumference ÷ 2π). Choice A provides the accurate formulas for finding the radius in both scenarios. Choices B, C, and D present incorrect formulas that do not align with the correct calculations for determining the radius of a circle based on the given information.

5. A cell has a diameter of 0.1 meter, and another cell has a diameter of 0.05 meters. How many times larger is the first cell compared to the second cell?

A. 2
B. 4
C. 8
D. 16

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To determine how many times larger the first cell is compared to the second cell, divide the diameter of the first cell by the diameter of the second cell: 0.1 / 0.05 = 2. Therefore, the first cell is 2 times larger than the second cell. Choice B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not provide the accurate calculation for the size difference between the two cells.
