TEAS Practice Math Test
1. The first midwife uses 2/5 of her monthly contribution to pay for rent and utilities. She saves half of the remainder for incidental expenditures, and uses the rest of the money to purchase medical supplies. How much money does she spend on medical supplies each month?
- A. $600
- B. $800
- C. $1,000
- D. $1,200
Correct answer: A
Rationale: The first midwife contributes $2000. She spends $800 on rent and utilities. After paying for rent and utilities, $1200 remains. Half of this amount, which is $600, is saved for incidental expenditures. Therefore, the first midwife spends the remaining $600 on purchasing medical supplies each month. Choice A, $600, is the correct answer. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not accurately reflect the amount spent on medical supplies as calculated in the given scenario.
2. Round to the nearest tenth: 8.067.
- A. 8.07
- B. 8.1
- C. 8
- D. 8.11
Correct answer: A
Rationale: When rounding a number to the nearest tenth, you look at the digit in the hundredths place. Since 8.067 has a 6 in the hundredths place, which is equal to or greater than 5, you round the tenths place up by 1. Therefore, rounding 8.067 to the nearest tenth gives 8.07. Choice B (8.1) would be incorrect because 8.067 is closer to 8.1 than to 8, but it's not quite there. Choice C (8) is incorrect as it would be rounding down, and Choice D (8.11) is incorrect as it is rounding to the nearest hundredth, not the nearest tenth.
3. Which of the following is equivalent to 8 pounds and 8 ounces? (Round to the nearest tenth of a kilogram.)
- A. 3.6 kilograms
- B. 3.9 kilograms
- C. 17.6 kilograms
- D. 18.7 kilograms
Correct answer: B
Rationale: To convert 8 pounds and 8 ounces to kilograms, first convert 8 ounces to pounds by dividing by 16 (since 1 pound = 16 ounces): 8 ounces / 16 = 0.5 pounds. Then add this to the original 8 pounds: 8 pounds + 0.5 pounds = 8.5 pounds. To convert pounds to kilograms, use the conversion factor 1 pound = 0.453592 kilograms. Therefore, 8.5 pounds × 0.453592 kg = 3.855 kilograms, which rounds to 3.9 kilograms. Choice A (3.6 kilograms), Choice C (17.6 kilograms), and Choice D (18.7 kilograms) are incorrect conversions or have errors in calculation compared to the correct conversion of 3.9 kilograms.
4. What is the solution to 4 x 7 + (25 – 21)²?
- A. 512
- B. 36
- C. 44
- D. 22
Correct answer: C
Rationale: To find the solution, first solve the expression inside the parentheses: 25 - 21 = 4. Then, square the result from the parentheses: 4² = 16. Next, perform the multiplication: 4 x 7 = 28. Finally, add the results: 28 + 16 = 44. Therefore, the correct answer is 44. Choice A (512), Choice B (36), and Choice D (22) are incorrect as they do not follow the correct order of operations for solving the given mathematical expression.
5. Adrian measures the circumference of a circular picture frame with a radius of 3 inches. Which of the following is the best estimate for the circumference of the frame?
- A. 12 inches
- B. 16 inches
- C. 18 inches
- D. 24 inches
Correct answer: C
Rationale: To calculate the circumference of a circle, use the formula 2πr, where r is the radius. In this case, with a radius of 3 inches, the estimated circumference would be 2 x π x 3 = 6π ≈ 18.85 inches. Therefore, the best estimate for the circumference of the frame is 18 inches (Choice C). Choice A (12 inches) is too small as it corresponds to the diameter rather than the circumference. Choice B (16 inches) and Choice D (24 inches) are also incorrect as they do not reflect the accurate calculation based on the given radius.
