TEAS Math Practice Test
1. Jessica buys 10 cans of paint. Red paint costs $1 per can, and blue paint costs $2 per can. In total, she spends $16. How many red cans did she buy?
- A. 2
- B. 3
- C. 4
- D. 5
Correct answer: C
Rationale: Let r be the number of red cans and b be the number of blue cans. The total cans equation is r + b = 10. The total cost equation is r + 2b = 16. By solving these equations simultaneously, we find r = 4. Therefore, Jessica bought 4 red cans. Choice A, 2 red cans, is incorrect because it does not satisfy the total cans or total cost condition. Choices B and D are also incorrect as they do not fulfill both conditions simultaneously.
2. The second midwife allocates 1/2 of her funds to pay an office administrator, plus another 1/10 for office supplies. What is the total fraction of the second midwife's budget that is spent on the office administrator and office supplies?
- A. 3/5
- B. 2/12
- C. 2/20
- D. 1/20
Correct answer: A
Rationale: To find the total fraction of the second midwife's budget spent on the office administrator and office supplies, add the fractions. The midwife allocates 1/2 of her funds to the office administrator (1/2) and another 1/10 for office supplies. Adding 1/2 and 1/10 gives a total of 3/5. Choice A (3/5) is correct. Choice B (2/12) is incorrect as it simplifies to 1/6, which is not the total fraction. Choice C (2/20) is incorrect as it simplifies to 1/10, which is only the fraction spent on office supplies, not the total. Choice D (1/20) is incorrect as it represents only the fraction spent on office supplies, not the total spent on both the administrator and supplies.
3. What is the average length of a human eyelash?
- A. 1 nanometer
- B. 1 centimeter
- C. 1 meter
- D. 1 kilometer
Correct answer: B
Rationale: The average length of a human eyelash is approximately one centimeter. A nanometer is too small to describe the length of an eyelash. A meter and a kilometer are much longer lengths and not suitable to describe the average human eyelash.
4. Solve for x in the equation: 3x - 5 = 16
- A. 7
- B. 5
- C. 8
- D. 9
Correct answer: C
Rationale: To solve for x, add 5 to both sides of the equation: 3x - 5 + 5 = 16 + 5, which simplifies to 3x = 21. Next, divide both sides by 3: x = 21 ÷ 3 = 7. Therefore, the correct answer is x = 7, making option A the correct choice. Option C, '8,' is incorrect as it is not the solution obtained from the correct calculations. Options B and D, '5' and '9,' are also incorrect and not the solution to the given equation.
5. Which number is larger, 0.5 or 1/3?
- A. 0.5
- B. 1/3
- C. They are equal
- D. Cannot be determined
Correct answer: A
Rationale: To compare 0.5 and 1/3, we can convert 0.5 to a fraction, which is 1/2. When comparing 1/2 and 1/3, we find that 1/2 is greater than 1/3. Therefore, 0.5 is larger than 1/3. Choice B is incorrect as 1/3 is smaller. Choice C is incorrect as the numbers are not equal. Choice D is incorrect as a clear comparison can be made.
