TEAS Math Questions
1. If 3/4 of students at a university major in nursing and 1/3 of those students complete the program, how many will complete the program if 100 students are in the incoming class?
- A. 75
- B. 20
- C. 15
- D. 5
Correct answer: C
Rationale: Out of the 100 students, 3/4 (75 students) major in nursing. Since 1/3 of those students complete the program, 1/3 * 75 = 25 students will complete the program. Therefore, 25 students out of the 100 incoming class will complete the program, making choice C (15) the correct answer. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not reflect the correct calculation based on the given information.
2. Mathew has to earn more than 96 points on his high school entrance exam in order to be eligible for varsity sports. Each question is worth 3 points, and the test has a total of 40 questions. Let x represent the number of test questions. How many questions can Mathew answer incorrectly and still qualify for varsity sports?
- A. x > 32
- B. x > 8
- C. 0 ≤ x < 8
- D. 0 ≤ x ≤ 8
Correct answer: C
Rationale: To determine the number of correct answers Mathew needs, solve the inequality: 3x > 96. This simplifies to x > 32. Therefore, Mathew must answer more than 32 questions correctly to qualify for varsity sports. Since the test consists of 40 questions, he can afford to answer at most 40 - 32 = 8 questions incorrectly. Therefore, the correct answer is 0 ≤ x < 8. Option A (x > 32) is incorrect as it suggests Mathew needs to answer more than 32 questions correctly, which is not the case. Option B (x > 8) is also incorrect as it does not account for the total number of questions in the test. Option D (0 ≤ x ≤ 8) is incorrect as it includes the possibility of answering all questions incorrectly, which is not allowed for Mathew to qualify for varsity sports.
3. If a tree grows an average of 4.2 inches in a day, what is the rate of change in its height per month? Assume a month is 30 days.
- A. 0.14 inches per month
- B. 4.2 inches per month
- C. 34.2 inches per month
- D. 126 inches per month
Correct answer: D
Rationale: The tree grows at an average rate of 4.2 inches per day. To find the rate of change per month, multiply the daily growth rate by the number of days in a month (30 days): 4.2 inches/day × 30 days = 126 inches per month. Therefore, the rate of change in the tree's height is 126 inches per month, making option D the correct answer. Option A is incorrect because it miscalculates the rate based on daily growth. Option B is incorrect as it doesn't account for the total days in a month. Option C is incorrect as it overestimates the monthly growth rate.
4. What defines a composite number?
- A. A number with only two factors
- B. A number that is a fraction
- C. A number with more than 2 factors
- D. A number with exactly two factors
Correct answer: C
Rationale: A composite number is a positive integer greater than one that has more than two factors. Choice A is incorrect because a number with only two factors is a prime number. Choice B is incorrect as being a fraction does not define a composite number. Choice D is incorrect because a number with exactly two factors is a prime number, not a composite number.
5. Jonathan pays a $65 monthly flat rate for his cell phone. He is charged $0.12 per minute for each minute used in a roaming area. Which of the following expressions represents his monthly bill for x roaming minutes?
- A. 65 + 0.12x
- B. 65x + 0.12
- C. 65.12x
- D. 65 + 0.12x
Correct answer: A
Rationale: The correct expression for Jonathan's monthly bill is 65 + 0.12x, where x represents the number of roaming minutes. The $65 monthly flat rate is added to the product of $0.12 per minute and the number of roaming minutes (x). Choice B is incorrect because it incorrectly multiplies the flat rate by x and adds the per-minute charge. Choice C is incorrect as it combines the flat rate and the per-minute charge into a single value. Choice D is incorrect as it incorrectly multiplies the flat rate by x and adds the per-minute charge separately.
