TEAS Math Practice Test #2

Question 1

Simplify the expression above. Which of the following is correct?

Accepted Answer

29/72

Answer

Without the specific expression provided, we assume the task is to simplify a fraction or an algebraic expression that results in 29/72. To simplify a fraction, you divide both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD). In this case, 29 is a prime number, and 72 is not a multiple of 29, meaning there are no common factors other than 1. Therefore, the fraction 29/72 is already in its simplest form.

Question 2

Express 5/8 as its closest rounded percentage.

Accepted Answer

63%

Answer

To express 5/8 as a percentage, first convert the fraction to a decimal by dividing the numerator by the denominator: 5 ÷ 8 = 0.625. Next, multiply the decimal by 100 to convert it to a percentage: 0.625 × 100 = 62.5%. Finally, round 62.5% to the nearest whole percentage, which is 63%. Thus, 5/8 is approximately 63%.

Question 3

Amanda wants to paint the walls of a room. She knows that each can of paint contains one gallon. A half gallon will cover a 55 square feet of wall. Each of the four walls is 10 feet high. Two of the walls are 10 feet wide and two of the walls are 15 feet wide. How many 1-gallon buckets of paint does Amanda need to buy in order to fully paint the room?

Accepted Answer

5

Answer

First, calculate the total wall area: two walls are 10ft x 10ft (200 sq ft) and two walls are 10ft x 15ft (300 sq ft), totaling 500 sq ft. A half-gallon covers 55 sq ft, so one full gallon covers 110 sq ft (55 sq ft * 2). To find the number of gallons needed, divide the total area by the coverage per gallon: 500 sq ft ÷ 110 sq ft/gallon ≈ 4.54 gallons. Since paint is sold in whole gallons, Amanda must buy 5 gallons to fully paint the room.

Question 4

How many millimeters are there in 5 meters?

Accepted Answer

5,000

Answer

To convert meters to millimeters, you need to know the conversion factors. One meter is equal to 100 centimeters, and one centimeter is equal to 10 millimeters. Therefore, one meter is equivalent to 100 cm * 10 mm/cm = 1000 millimeters. To find the number of millimeters in 5 meters, multiply 5 by 1000, which gives 5,000 millimeters.

Question 5

Kyra has a budget of $300 for her holiday spending. Kyra decides to buy shoes for her grandchildren. If each pair of shoes costs $40, and Kyra has n grandchildren, which of the following inequalities represents Kyra’s budget constraint?

Accepted Answer

40n ≤ 300

Answer

Kyra's budget constraint involves the total cost of shoes for her grandchildren. If each pair of shoes costs $40 and she has 'n' grandchildren, the total cost will be 40 multiplied by 'n', or 40n. Since her budget is $300, the total amount spent (40n) must be less than or equal to $300. Therefore, the correct inequality is 40n ≤ 300.
