TEAS - Test of Essential Academic Skills Math Practice Test #3 1

Question 1

Evaluate: 18 ÷ (3 + 6) × 2²

Accepted Answer

8

Answer

Following order of operations: first simplify the parentheses (3 + 6 = 9), then evaluate the exponent (2² = 4), then work left to right for division and multiplication: 18 ÷ 9 = 2, then 2 × 4 = 8.

Question 2

A recipe requires 3/4 cup of sugar per batch of cookies. How many full batches can be made with 5 cups of sugar?

Accepted Answer

6

Answer

Divide 5 by 3/4: 5 ÷ (3/4) = 5 × (4/3) = 20/3 ≈ 6.67. Since the question asks for full batches, the answer is 6.

Question 3

A patient's temperature is 38.6°C. Using the formula F = (9/5)C + 32, what is this temperature in Fahrenheit (rounded to the nearest tenth)?

Accepted Answer

101.5°F

Answer

F = (9/5)(38.6) + 32 = 1.8 × 38.6 + 32 = 69.48 + 32 = 101.48, which rounds to 101.5°F.

Question 4

A student scored 85, 92, 78, and 95 on four exams. What is the mean (average) score?

Accepted Answer

87.5

Answer

Add all four scores: 85 + 92 + 78 + 95 = 350. Divide by the number of scores: 350 ÷ 4 = 87.5.

Question 5

Solve for x: 4x − 9 = 3x + 5

Accepted Answer

x = 14

Answer

Subtract 3x from both sides: x − 9 = 5. Then add 9 to both sides: x = 14.
