TEAS Math Practice Test #2 3

Question 1

What is the value of 4³?

Accepted Answer

64

Answer

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?

Accepted Answer

7½ cups

Answer

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)

Accepted Answer

39°C

Answer

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)

Accepted Answer

4/3

Answer

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?

Accepted Answer

7.5 mL

Answer

Set up a proportion: 500/5 = 750/x. Cross-multiply: 500x = 3750. x = 7.5 mL. This is a standard nursing dosage calculation.
