Math TEAS Exam Test with 100% Verified Answers
1. At the end of the semester, a student sells 11 Books to the bookstore,
earning $173. With that earned money, they pay two $20 dollar parking tickets
and a $17 dollar library fine. How much money does the student have left?: -
20+20+17=57
173-57=116
She has 116 left
2. Which of the following correctly solves for x in the equation below?
x-5.2=-2.3: 2.9 solves for x
By adding 5.2 to both sides of the equation there is now an equation equivalent to the
original equation. The answer can be checked by placing 2.9 back into the original
equation for x:2.9-5.2=2.3
3. Between which two months does the greatest increase in profits occur?: -
February and March
4. The average diameter of one tennis ball in a package of three is 6.8 cm.
Which of the following is the combined volume of all three tennis balls? Use
3.14 for Àand round your final answer to the nearest hundredth. (V= 4/3rÀ^3)
A) 164.55 cm^3
B) 493.66 cm^3
C) 1,316.42 cm^3
D) 3,949.27 cm^3: B) 493.66 cm^3
This is the result of correctly calculating the volume of all three tennis balls by dividing
the diameter by 2 to get the radius (3.4), cubing the radius, multiplying by Pi (3.14),
and then multiplying by 4/3 to find the volume of a single tennis ball. Finally, that
volume must be multiplied by 3 to get the total volume of all three tennis balls.
5. the average speed of NASA space shuttle travels is 17,500 mph. The dis-
tance the space shuttle traveled is 238,855 miles. What is the travel time of
the space shuttle?: If the formula distance=rate x time is used to fine the time,
divide the distance (238,855 miles) by the rate (17,500 miles/hr), which equals
approximately 13.6 hr.
6. Annette has $200 in her account and she plans to deposit $40 every week
into the account. Which of the following expressions represents the amount
in her account after n weeks?: 200+40n
This is the result of correctly interpreting that because Annette had $200 in her
account and she deposits $40 every week, the amount deposited in n weeks is 40n.
Therefore, the total amount after n weeks is 200 + 40n.
7. The height and corresponding arm span of several people were recorded
and are plotted above. Which of the following statements about the data is
correct?: There is a positive correlation between height and arm span.
1/5
, Math TEAS Exam Test with 100% Verified Answers
Arm span increases as height increases, which shows a positive correlation, or
relationship, between the two variables.
8. Which of the following is the simplest form of the expression (2 × 15 - 9 ÷ 3)
/ (5 + 35 ÷ 5)?: This is the result of correctly following the order of operations.(2 ×
15 - 9 ÷ 3)/(5 + 35 ÷ 5)
(30 - 9 ÷ 3)/(5 + 7)
(30 - 3)/(12)
27/12
9/4
3 goes into both 27 and 12 so 9/4 is in lowest terms
9. A homeowner wants to install vinyl siding on the exterior of the house. The
total area on which the siding is to be installed is 225 square feet. To account
for waste, they need to buy 10% additional material. What is the total amount, in
square feet, of material the homeowner should buy?(Round the answer to the
nearest tenth. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.): 247.5
sq ft
To calculate the total amount of vinyl siding required,
punch in calculator 225+10% total is 247.5
OR 225 * 0.1 + 225= 247.5
10. A basic cell phone plan costs $50 per month and includes 200 minutes of
call time. If the customer uses more than 200 minutes in a month, they are
charged an additional $0.03 per minute used. If n represents the number of
minutes used, which of the following represents the monthly cost (C) when
more than 200 minutes are used?: C=50+0.3(n-200)
If more than 200 minutes are used, the cost will equal $50 plus $0.03 times the
difference between the number of minutes used and 200.
11. An employee at a restaurant makes $14.50 per hour. If the employee works
150 hr during a month, which of the following is the employee's gross earnings
for the month?: The employee's gross earnings for the month would be $2,175.
This is the result of multiplying the unit rate ($14.50 per hour) by the number of
hours worked (150 hr).
12. Assuming 1 kg H2.205 lb, which of the following is equivalent to 15 kg?: This
is the result of correctly converting 15 kg to pounds by multiplying 15 and 2.205
13. Which of the following is the percent of people who speak a language other
than English or Spanish in this particular community?: This problem can be
solved two ways. 100% - 34% - 11% = 55% or 19% + 16% + 6% + 14% = 55%.
14. A = -2.7, B = -1.2, C = 0.8, D = 1.7, E = 2.3
