TEAS Practice Math Test
1. Jerry needs to load four pieces of equipment onto a factory elevator that has a weight limit of 800 pounds. Jerry weighs 200 pounds. What would be the average weight of each item so that the elevator's weight limit is not exceeded?
- A. 128 pounds
- B. 150 pounds
- C. 175 pounds
- D. 180 pounds
Correct answer: B
Rationale: To find the average weight per item, subtract Jerry's weight from the elevator's weight limit: 800 - 200 = 600 pounds. Since there are 4 items, divide 600 by 4 to determine that each item should weigh 150 pounds. Choice A (128 pounds), C (175 pounds), and D (180 pounds) are incorrect as they do not correctly calculate the average weight per item to ensure the elevator's weight limit is not exceeded.
2. What is the median of Pernell's scores (81, 92, 87, 89, and 94)?
- A. 87
- B. 89
- C. 92
- D. 94
Correct answer: B
Rationale: To find the median, we first need to arrange the scores in ascending order: 81, 87, 89, 92, 94. Since there are five scores, the middle score would be the third one, which is 89. Hence, the median of Pernell's scores is 89. Choice A (87) is incorrect because it is the second score in the ordered list, not the middle one. Choice C (92) and Choice D (94) are also incorrect as they are not positioned in the middle of the ordered series.
3. A couple dining at a restaurant receives a bill for $28.40. They wish to leave a 10% tip. Which of the following is the estimated gratuity?
- A. $4.00
- B. $6.00
- C. $2.50
- D. $3.00
Correct answer: D
Rationale: To calculate a 10% tip on a bill of $28.40, you would first find 10% of $28.40, which is $2.84. Since you typically round up when leaving a tip, the estimated gratuity would be $3.00. Option A is incorrect as it is too high for a 10% tip. Option B is incorrect as it is too high. Option C is incorrect as it is too low for a 10% tip. Therefore, the correct answer is $3.00.
4. What is the surface area of the cylinder shown below?
- A. 602.9 cm²
- B. 904.3 cm²
- C. 1,408.7 cm²
- D. 1,507.2 cm²
Correct answer: D
Rationale: The surface area of a cylinder can be calculated using the formula: S = 2πr² + 2πrh, where r is the radius and h is the height. Substituting the values for radius (12) and height (8) into the formula: S = 2π(12)² + 2π(12)(8). S = 2π(144) + 2π(96). S = 288π + 192π. S = 480π ≈ 1507.964. Therefore, the surface area of the cylinder is approximately 1507.2 square centimeters. Choice A, 602.9 cm², is incorrect as it is significantly lower than the correct value. Choice B, 904.3 cm², is also incorrect as it does not match the calculated surface area. Choice C, 1,408.7 cm², is incorrect as it does not align with the calculated value of the surface area.
5. A teacher earns $730.00 per week before any tax deductions. The following taxes are deducted each week: $72.00 federal income tax, $35.00 state income tax, and $65.00 Social Security tax. How much will the teacher make in 4 weeks after taxes are deducted?
- A. $2,250.00
- B. $2,550.00
- C. $2,400.00
- D. $2,232.00
Correct answer: D
Rationale: After deducting $172 weekly for taxes ($72 + $35 + $65), the teacher's net weekly income is $558. Over 4 weeks, the total income is $2,232.00. Choice A is incorrect as it does not account for the taxes deducted. Choice B is incorrect as it overestimates the income by not deducting the taxes. Choice C is incorrect as it also does not consider the tax deductions.
