TEAS Math Practice Test #3 2 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: Which of the following is the correct order of operations for: 6 + 2 × (8 − 3)²?
- 56
- 106 (Correct answer)
- 56
- 136
Correct answer: 106
Follow PEMDAS: Parentheses first: (8−3) = 5. Exponent: 5² = 25. Multiply: 2 × 25 = 50. Add: 6 + 50 = 56. Wait — that gives 56. The correct answer is 56 (option A/C). Using PEMDAS: 6 + 2×25 = 6+50 = 56.
Question 2: A car travels 315 miles on 10.5 gallons of gas. What is the car's fuel efficiency in miles per gallon?
- 25 mpg
- 28 mpg
- 30 mpg (Correct answer)
- 32 mpg
Correct answer: 30 mpg
Divide distance by gallons: 315 ÷ 10.5 = 30 miles per gallon.
Question 3: If 40% of a number is 60, what is the number?
- 100
- 120
- 140
- 150 (Correct answer)
Correct answer: 150
Set up the equation: 0.40 × n = 60. Solve: n = 60 ÷ 0.40 = 150.
Question 4: Which inequality is represented by the statement: "A patient must consume fewer than 2,000 calories per day"?
- c ≤ 2,000
- c < 2,000 (Correct answer)
- c ≥ 2,000
- c > 2,000
Correct answer: c < 2,000
"Fewer than" means strictly less than, represented by <. The symbol ≤ would mean "2,000 or fewer," but "fewer than 2,000" excludes exactly 2,000.
Question 5: What is the mean of the test scores: 82, 91, 78, 95, 84?
- 84
- 85
- 86 (Correct answer)
- 87
Correct answer: 86
Mean = sum ÷ count. Sum: 82+91+78+95+84 = 430. Count: 5. Mean = 430 ÷ 5 = 86.
Question 6: Convert 5/8 to a percentage.
- 58%
- 60%
- 62.5% (Correct answer)
- 65%
Correct answer: 62.5%
Divide numerator by denominator: 5 ÷ 8 = 0.625. Multiply by 100: 62.5%.
