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. Given the double bar graph shown below, which of the following statements is true?

A. Group A is negatively skewed, while Group B is approximately normal.
B. Group A is positively skewed, while Group B is approximately normal.
C. Group A is approximately normal, while Group B is negatively skewed.
D. Group A is approximately normal, while Group B is positively skewed.

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B. In a double bar graph, Group A is positively skewed, meaning its data is clustered on the left and has a tail extending to the right. On the other hand, Group B displays a normal distribution where the data is evenly distributed around the mean. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect as they inaccurately describe the skewness and distribution of the data in Group A and Group B.

3. Which of the following numbers is the largest?

A. 0.45
B. 0.096
C. 0.3
D. 0.313

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Among the provided options, 0.45 is the largest number. To determine the largest number, compare the decimal values directly. 0.45 is greater than 0.313, 0.3, and 0.096. Therefore, 0.45 is the correct answer. Choice B (0.096) is the smallest as it has the lowest decimal value. Choice C (0.3) is greater than 0.096 but smaller than both 0.313 and 0.45. Choice D (0.313) is greater than 0.3 and 0.096 but smaller than 0.45, making it incorrect.

4. How many milligrams are in 5 grams?

A. 0.005 mg
B. 50 mg
C. 500 mg
D. 5000 mg

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To convert grams to milligrams, you need to multiply by 1000 since 1 gram is equal to 1000 milligrams. Therefore, 5 grams is equal to 5 * 1000 = 5000 milligrams. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not correctly convert grams to milligrams. Choice A is incorrect as it represents a decrease in value instead of an increase when converting from grams to milligrams. Choice B is incorrect because it is a factor of 10 lower than the correct answer. Choice C is incorrect as it is a factor of 10 lower than the correct answer. Thus, the correct answer is D, 5000 mg.

5. What is the equivalent weight in pounds for 45 kg? (1 kg = 2.2 lbs)

A. 120 lbs
B. 89 lbs
C. 99 lbs
D. 90 lbs

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To convert kilograms to pounds, multiply the weight in kilograms by the conversion factor 2.2 (1 kg = 2.2 lbs). Therefore, 45 kg * 2.2 lbs/kg = 99 lbs. Choice A is incorrect because it is a miscalculation. Choice B is incorrect as it does not reflect the correct conversion. Choice D is incorrect as it is also a miscalculation of the conversion.
