TEAS Math 5 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: A line passes through points (2, 5) and (6, 13). What is the slope of the line?
- 1
- 1.5
- 2 (Correct answer)
- 2.5
Correct answer: 2
Slope = (13−5)/(6−2) = 8/4 = 2.
Question 2: A data set has a mean of 45 and a standard deviation of 5. Which value is most likely an outlier?
- 40
- 50
- 55
- 62 (Correct answer)
Correct answer: 62
62 is (62−45)/5 = 3.4 standard deviations from the mean, far outside the typical ±2 range.
Question 3: Solve the inequality: −3x + 6 > 15
- x > −3
- x < −3 (Correct answer)
- x > 3
- x < 3
Correct answer: x < −3
Subtract 6: −3x > 9; divide by −3 and flip the inequality: x < −3.
Question 4: A 500 mL bag of saline must infuse at a rate of 40 mL/hr. How many hours and minutes will the infusion take?
- 10 hr 30 min
- 11 hr 0 min
- 12 hr 0 min
- 12 hr 30 min (Correct answer)
Correct answer: 12 hr 30 min
500 ÷ 40 = 12.5 hours = 12 hours and 30 minutes.
Question 5: What is the value of 4! (4 factorial)?
- 8
- 12
- 24 (Correct answer)
- 48
Correct answer: 24
4! = 4 × 3 × 2 × 1 = 24.
Question 6: A cylindrical container has a radius of 3 cm and a height of 10 cm. What is its volume? (Use π ≈ 3.14)
- 188.4 cm³
- 251.2 cm³
- 282.6 cm³ (Correct answer)
- 314.0 cm³
Correct answer: 282.6 cm³
V = πr²h = 3.14 × 9 × 10 = 282.6 cm³.
Question 7: A nurse earns $34.50 per hour and receives time-and-a-half for overtime (over 40 hours). How much does she earn in a week where she works 46 hours?
- $1,449.00
- $1,587.00 (Correct answer)
- $1,690.50
- $1,725.00
Correct answer: $1,587.00
Regular pay: 40 × $34.50 = $1,380; overtime pay: 6 × $51.75 = $310.50; total = $1,587.00... wait: 6 × 51.75 = 310.50; 1380+310.50=1690.50.
