TEAS Math Practice Test #2 2 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: Solve for x: 3x + 7 = 22
- x = 3
- x = 5 (Correct answer)
- x = 7
- x = 9
Correct answer: x = 5
Subtract 7 from both sides: 3x = 15. Divide both sides by 3: x = 5. Check: 3(5) + 7 = 15 + 7 = 22. ✓
Question 2: A patient must receive 1,200 mL of fluid over 8 hours. How many mL per hour should be administered?
- 100 mL/hr
- 150 mL/hr (Correct answer)
- 120 mL/hr
- 200 mL/hr
Correct answer: 150 mL/hr
Divide total volume by total time: 1,200 ÷ 8 = 150 mL per hour. This is a straightforward rate problem used frequently in nursing dosage calculations.
Question 3: What is 35% of 240?
- 72
- 80
- 84 (Correct answer)
- 96
Correct answer: 84
Convert 35% to a decimal: 0.35. Multiply: 0.35 × 240 = 84. Alternatively: 10% of 240 = 24; 30% = 72; 5% = 12; total = 84.
Question 4: Which of the following fractions is equivalent to 0.625?
- 3/4
- 5/8 (Correct answer)
- 2/3
- 7/10
Correct answer: 5/8
0.625 = 625/1000. Simplify by dividing by 125: 5/8. Check: 5 ÷ 8 = 0.625. ✓
Question 5: A rectangular room measures 12 feet by 9 feet. What is the area of the room?
- 21 sq ft
- 42 sq ft
- 96 sq ft
- 108 sq ft (Correct answer)
Correct answer: 108 sq ft
Area of a rectangle = length × width = 12 × 9 = 108 square feet. The perimeter would be 2(12+9) = 42 feet, which is a common distractor.
Question 6: A nurse earns $28 per hour and works 36 hours per week. How much does she earn in 4 weeks?
- $3,024
- $3,528
- $4,032 (Correct answer)
- $4,536
Correct answer: $4,032
Weekly earnings: $28 × 36 = $1,008. Four weeks: $1,008 × 4 = $4,032.
