TEAS 7 Math Practice Test
1. Mandy can buy 4 containers of yogurt and 3 boxes of crackers for $9.55. She can buy 2 containers of yogurt and 2 boxes of crackers for $5.90. How much does one box of crackers cost?
- A. $1.75
- B. $2.00
- C. $2.25
- D. $2.50
Correct answer: C
Rationale: To solve this problem, we can set up a system of equations. Let the cost of one container of yogurt be y and the cost of one box of crackers be c. From the first scenario, we have 4y + 3c = 9.55. From the second scenario, we have 2y + 2c = 5.90. Solving these equations simultaneously, we find that c = $2.25. Therefore, one box of crackers costs $2.25. Choice A, $1.75, is incorrect because it does not satisfy the given conditions in the system of equations. Choice B, $2.00, is incorrect as it does not match the calculated solution. Choice D, $2.50, is incorrect as it does not align with the calculated value for one box of crackers.
2. Which of the following is the y-intercept of the line whose equation is 7y − 42x + 7 = 0?
- A. (1/6, 0)
- B. (6, 0)
- C. (0, −1)
- D. (−1, 0)
Correct answer: C
Rationale: To find the y-intercept, set x = 0 in the equation 7y − 42x + 7 = 0. This simplifies to 7y - 42(0) + 7 = 0, which gives 7y = -7. Solving for y, we get y = -1. Therefore, the y-intercept is where x = 0, so the correct answer is (0, -1). Choice A (1/6, 0) is incorrect as it does not satisfy the given equation when x = 0. Choice B (6, 0) is incorrect as it represents the x-intercept. Choice D (-1, 0) is incorrect as it does not correspond to the y-intercept of the given equation.
3. What is a prime number?
- A. A number divisible by only 1 and itself
- B. A number divisible by 2 and 3
- C. A number divisible by any number
- D. A number with exactly three factors
Correct answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: 'A number divisible by only 1 and itself.' A prime number is a natural number greater than 1 that cannot be formed by multiplying two smaller natural numbers. This definition aligns with choice A. Choice B is incorrect because not all prime numbers are divisible by 2 and 3. Choice C is incorrect as prime numbers are not divisible by any number other than 1 and themselves. Choice D is incorrect because a prime number has exactly two factors, 1 and itself, not three factors.
4. Dr. Lee observed that 30% of all his patients developed an infection after taking a certain antibiotic. He further noticed that 5% of those 30% required hospitalization to recover from the infection. What percentage of Dr. Lee's patients were hospitalized after taking the antibiotic?
- A. 1.50%
- B. 5%
- C. 15%
- D. 30%
Correct answer: C
Rationale: Out of all the patients who took the antibiotic, 30% developed an infection. Among those with infections, 5% required hospitalization. To find the percentage of all patients hospitalized, we multiply the two percentages: 30% * 5% = 1.5%. Therefore, 1.5% of all patients were hospitalized. Choice A (1.50%) is the calculated percentage of all patients hospitalized, not 1.50%. Choice B (5%) is the percentage of patients who developed an infection and required hospitalization, not all patients. Choice D (30%) represents the initial percentage of patients who developed an infection, not the percentage hospitalized.
5. What is the mode of the numbers in the distribution shown in the table?
- A. 1
- B. 2
- C. 3
- D. 4
Correct answer: A
Rationale: The mode of a set of numbers is the value that appears most frequently. In the distribution shown in the table, the number '1' occurs more times than any other number, making it the mode. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not represent the number that occurs most frequently in the dataset.
