TEAS Math Practice Test #2 3 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: What is the value of 4³?
- 12
- 16
- 64 (Correct answer)
- 48
Correct answer: 64
4³ means 4 × 4 × 4. Calculate: 4 × 4 = 16, then 16 × 4 = 64.
Question 2: A recipe requires 2½ cups of flour. If you want to make 3 batches, how much flour do you need?
- 5 cups
- 6 cups
- 7 cups
- 7½ cups (Correct answer)
Correct answer: 7½ cups
2½ = 5/2 cups. Multiply by 3: (5/2) × 3 = 15/2 = 7½ cups. Always convert mixed numbers to improper fractions for easier multiplication.
Question 3: If a patient's temperature is 102.2°F, what is this in Celsius? (Formula: C = (F − 32) × 5/9)
- 38°C
- 39°C (Correct answer)
- 40°C
- 41°C
Correct answer: 39°C
C = (102.2 − 32) × 5/9 = 70.2 × 5/9 = 351/9 = 39°C. A fever of 39°C is clinically significant and would warrant monitoring.
Question 4: Simplify: (3/4) ÷ (9/16)
- 1/3
- 3/4
- 4/3 (Correct answer)
- 27/64
Correct answer: 4/3
To divide fractions, multiply by the reciprocal: (3/4) × (16/9) = 48/36. Simplify: 48/36 = 4/3.
Question 5: A medication label reads "500 mg per 5 mL." How many mL are needed for a 750 mg dose?
- 5 mL
- 7.5 mL (Correct answer)
- 10 mL
- 15 mL
Correct answer: 7.5 mL
Set up a proportion: 500/5 = 750/x. Cross-multiply: 500x = 3750. x = 7.5 mL. This is a standard nursing dosage calculation.
Question 6: What is the median of the following data set: 4, 7, 2, 9, 5, 3, 8?
- 4
- 5 (Correct answer)
- 6
- 7
Correct answer: 5
First, arrange in order: 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9. The median is the middle value. With 7 numbers, the 4th value (5) is the median.
