TEAS Exam Math Practice
1. 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.
2. What percentage of rainfall received during this timeframe is received during the month of October?
- A. 13.50%
- B. 15.10%
- C. 16.90%
- D. 17.7%
Correct answer: D
Rationale: To determine the percentage of rainfall received during the month of October, we must first calculate the total rainfall for October and the total rainfall for the entire timeframe. Given that the total rainfall for October is 18.9 inches and the total rainfall from January to November is 106.3 inches, we can proceed with the calculation. The percentage is calculated as (18.9/106.3) x 100 = 17.7%. Therefore, the correct answer is D, 17.7%. Choice A (13.50%), Choice B (15.10%), and Choice C (16.90%) are incorrect as they do not align with the accurate calculation based on the provided data.
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. 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.
5. Anna is buying fruit at the farmers’ market. She selects 1.2 kilograms of apples, 800 grams of bananas, and 300 grams of strawberries. The farmer charges her a flat rate of $4 per kilogram. What is the total cost of her produce?
- A. $4.40
- B. $5.24
- C. $9.20
- D. $48.80
Correct answer: C
Rationale: To calculate the total cost, convert all weights to kilograms. 800 grams = 0.8 kilograms; 300 grams = 0.3 kilograms. Add up the weights: 1.2 kg + 0.8 kg + 0.3 kg = 2.3 kg. Multiply the total weight by the cost per kilogram: 2.3 kg × $4/kg = $9.20. Therefore, the total cost of her produce is $9.20. Choice A, $4.40, is incorrect as it does not account for the total weight of all the fruits. Choice B, $5.24, is incorrect as it does not accurately calculate the total cost based on the given weights and price per kilogram. Choice D, $48.80, is incorrect as it is significantly higher than the correct total cost and suggests an incorrect calculation method.
