TEAS - Test of Essential Academic Skills Math Practice Test #2 1 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: Solve for x: 4x - 3 = 17
- x = 3
- x = 5 (Correct answer)
- x = 7
- x = 4
Correct answer: x = 5
Add 3 to both sides to get 4x = 20, then divide both sides by 4 to find x = 5.
Question 2: A patient receives 500 mL of IV fluid over 4 hours. How many mL per hour is being administered?
- 100 mL/hr
- 125 mL/hr (Correct answer)
- 150 mL/hr
- 200 mL/hr
Correct answer: 125 mL/hr
Divide the total volume by the total time: 500 mL ÷ 4 hours = 125 mL per hour.
Question 3: What is 20% of 350?
- 35
- 50
- 70 (Correct answer)
- 85
Correct answer: 70
Convert 20% to a decimal (0.20) and multiply: 0.20 × 350 = 70.
Question 4: Which of the following fractions is equivalent to 0.4?
- 1/4
- 2/5 (Correct answer)
- 3/8
- 4/9
Correct answer: 2/5
0.4 = 4/10, which simplifies to 2/5 by dividing numerator and denominator by 2.
Question 5: If 3 nurses can care for 9 patients, how many patients can 7 nurses care for at the same ratio?
- 18
- 21 (Correct answer)
- 24
- 27
Correct answer: 21
The ratio is 3 nurses per 9 patients, or 1 nurse per 3 patients. Multiply 7 nurses × 3 patients = 21 patients.
Question 6: A patient takes 2 tablets twice daily for 7 days. How many tablets are needed in total?
- 14
- 21
- 28 (Correct answer)
- 35
Correct answer: 28
Multiply doses per day by tablets per dose by number of days: 2 doses × 2 tablets × 7 days = 28 tablets.
