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. Simplify the following expression: 4 * (2/3) ÷ 1 * (1/6)

A. 2
B. 3 1/3
C. 4
D. 4 1/2

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To simplify the expression, first convert the mixed numbers into fractions: 4 * (2/3) ÷ 1 * (1/6). This becomes 4 * 2/3 ÷ 1 * 1/6. Next, perform the multiplication and division from left to right: 8/3 ÷ 1 * 1/6 = 8/3 * 1 * 6 = 8/3 * 6 = 16. Therefore, the correct answer is 4. Choice A (2) is incorrect as it does not represent the final simplified expression. Choice B (3 1/3) is incorrect as it does not match the result of simplifying the expression. Choice D (4 1/2) is incorrect as it does not match the result of simplifying the expression.

3. If , then

A. 1
B. 2
C. 3
D. 4

Correct answer: C

Rationale: If $2x = 6$, then solving for $x$, we have $x = \frac{6}{2} = 3$. So, if $x = 3$, then $x+1 = 3+1 = 4$. Therefore, the value of $x+1$ would be 4.

4. Which of the following is not a negative value?

A. (−3)(−1)(2)(−1)
B. 14 – 7 + (−7)
C. 7 – 10 + (−8)
D. −5(−2)(−3)

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To identify the negative value, simplify each expression. A) simplifies to 6 which is positive. B) simplifies to 0 which is neither positive nor negative. C) simplifies to -11 which is negative. D) simplifies to -30 which is negative. Therefore, only choice B results in a non-negative value, making it the correct answer.

5. Given that three vertices of a parallelogram are (1, 2), (3, 4), and (5, 6), what are the coordinates of the fourth vertex?

A. (1, 6)
B. (3, 2)
C. (5, 2)
D. (7, 8)

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To find the fourth vertex of a parallelogram, we can use the properties of a parallelogram. Opposite sides of a parallelogram are parallel and equal in length. Therefore, we can determine the fourth vertex by extending the line formed by the first two points. If we extend the line from (1, 2) to (3, 4), we find that it has a slope of 1. This means that extending the line from (3, 4) by the same slope will give us the fourth vertex. By adding 2 units to both x and y coordinates of (5, 6), we get (7, 8) as the coordinates of the fourth vertex. Therefore, the correct answer is (7, 8). Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not satisfy the properties of a parallelogram and the given coordinate points.
