TEAS Practice Test Math

1. Which of the following is the greatest value?

A. 43 ÷ 55
B. 7 ÷ 5
C. 0.729
D. 73%

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To determine the greatest value among the choices, you need to convert all options to a common format. In this case, converting fractions to decimals will help compare them. When 7 ÷ 5 is calculated, it equals 1.4, which is greater than 0.729 (choice C) and 0.78 (choice A when rounded). The percentage 73% (choice D) is equivalent to 0.73, making 7 ÷ 5 the largest value. Therefore, the correct answer is B. Choice A is smaller than B, as 43 ÷ 55 equals approximately 0.78. Choice C is smaller than B, as 0.729 is less than 1.4. Choice D is smaller than B, as 73% is equal to 0.73, which is less than 1.4.

2. If , then

A. 1
B. 2
C. 3
D. 4

Correct answer: C

Rationale: If $2x = 6$, then solving for $x$, we have $x = \frac{6}{2} = 3$. So, if $x = 3$, then $x+1 = 3+1 = 4$. Therefore, the value of $x+1$ would be 4.

3. What is the probability of flipping a coin and getting heads?

A. 1/2
B. 1/3
C. 1/4
D. 1/5

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 1/2. When flipping a fair coin, there are two possible outcomes: heads or tails. The probability of getting heads is 1 out of 2 possible outcomes, which can be expressed as 1/2. Choice B, 1/3, is incorrect because a fair coin only has two sides. Choices C and D, 1/4 and 1/5, are also incorrect as they do not represent the correct probability of getting heads when flipping a coin.

4. Jeremy put a heavy chalk mark on the tire of his bicycle. His bike tire is 27 inches in diameter. When he rolled the bike, the chalk left marks on the sidewalk. Which expression can be used to best determine the distance, in inches, the bike rolled from the first mark to the fourth mark?

A. 3(27π)
B. 4π(27)
C. (27 ÷ 3)π
D. (27 ÷ 4)π

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The distance traveled by the bike in one complete roll of the tire is equal to the circumference, which can be calculated using the formula C = πd, where d is the diameter. Given that the diameter of the bike tire is 27 inches, the circumference is obtained by multiplying the diameter by π. As the tire rolls from the first mark to the fourth mark, it completes three full rotations (one complete roll plus two more). Therefore, the total distance rolled is 3 times the circumference, which results in 3(27π). Choice A is correct. Choice B is incorrect as it incorrectly multiplies the diameter by 4π instead of multiplying the circumference by 4. Choices C and D are incorrect as they involve dividing the diameter by a number, which is not applicable in this context.

5. How should 0.80 be written as a percent?

A. 40%
B. 125%
C. 90%
D. 80%

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To convert a decimal to a percent, move the decimal point two places to the right. Therefore, 0.80 written as a percent is 80%. Choice A is incorrect as it represents 40%. Choice B is incorrect as it represents 125%. Choice C is incorrect as it represents 90%.
