Question 1 CORRECT 5,344 − 57 Simplify the expression above. Which of the following is correct?
5,277
5,283 5,287 D 5,288 Question 1 Explanation: The correct answer is (C). Remember that calculators are not permitted on the TEAS math test, so make sure you are able to subtract large numbers without using a calculator. (subtraction by regrouping)
Question 2 CORRECT 3(x − 4) = 18 Solve the equation above. Which of the following is correct? x = 3/2
x = 22/3
x = 6 x = 10 Question 2 Explanation: The correct answer is (D). First divide both sides by 3: 3(x − 4) = 18 x − 4 = 18/3 x − 4 = 6
Then solve for x:
A B C
A B
x − 4 = 6 x = 6 + 4 x = 10
Question 3
The above is known as what type of graph? A Line Graph Scatterplot Bar Graph
Histogram Question 3 Explanation: The correct answer is (B). The above graph is known as a scatterplot, which is a plot of points on x and y axes. In this case, each point would have an x value equal to the temperature in degrees Celsius, and a y value equal to the amount of money in dollars.
Question 4 CORRECT (5x − 1) (3x + 2) Simplify the expression above. Which of the following is correct? A 15x2 − 7x + 3 15x2 + 7x − 2 15x2 + 7x − 3
15x2 − 7x − 2 Question 4 Explanation: The correct answer is (B). The “FOIL method” is the easiest way to remember how to multiply two-termed expressions. Multiply the First

two terms, then the Outer two terms, then the Inner two terms, and then the Last two terms, then sum all four to arrive at the answer: 15x2 + 10x − 3x − 2 = 15x2 + 7x − 2
Question 5 CORRECT Timmy can usually make six paper airplanes in an hour. However, if he gets interrupted by his parents, he can only make four per hour. His friend John can make seven paper airplanes per hour. One day, Timmy and John decide to have a three-hour long contest to see who can make the most paper airplanes. During the contest, Timmy is interrupted once every hour. John also had to take a break and do chores for an hour. How many more paper airplanes does the winner make? A 1 2 3
4 Question 5 Explanation: The correct answer is (B). Because Timmy is interrupted during each hour, he can only make four paper airplanes per hour, multiplied by 3 hours, for a total of 12 airplanes. John makes seven paper airplanes during the two hours he works without chores, for a total of 14 airplanes. 14 airplanes minus 12 airplanes equals 2.
Question 6 CORRECT If a car travels 360 kilometers in 5 hours, how far will it travel in 9 hours? 72
268
426 648 Question 6 Explanation: The correct answer is (D). Given that it took 5 hours to travel 360km, we can set up a ratio equation to figure out how far the car will travel
A B C
C D
in 9 hours.
360/5 = x/9 72 = x/9 72*9 = x x = 648
Question 7 CORRECT What degrees Fahrenheit is it at 30 degrees Celsius? Note: °F = (°C * 9/5) + 32 86
89
92
95 Question 7 Explanation: The correct answer is (A). Plug in °C = 30 into the given formula and solve for °F: °F = (°C * 9/5) + 32 °F = (30 * 9/5) + 32 °F = 54 + 32 °F = 86
Question 8 CORRECT A toy manufacturer makes 15,000 toys a year. The company randomly selects 300 of the toys to sample for inspection. The company discovers that there are 5 faulty toys in the sample. Based on the sample, how many of the 15,000 total toys are likely to be faulty? A 25 250 300
600 Question 8 Explanation: The sample indicates that 5 out of every 300 randomly selected toys will be faulty. Consequently, a proportion can be set up that relates the unknown number of faulty toys in the total number of toys to the ratio C D
B C D
of faulty toys to the sample. Stated otherwise:
T is the unknown number of faulty toys in the total. Multiply both sides by 15,000 and then divide the left hand side by 300 to solve for T:
Question 9
At a comic book store, Robert purchased three comics for $2.65 each. If he paid with a $20 bill, how much change did he receive? A $10.95 $12.05 $13.15
$13.85 Question 9 Explanation: The correct answer is (B). Three comics at $2.65 would equal a total of $7.95. The change would equal $20 − $7.95 = $12.05.
Question 10 CORRECT
Simplify the expression above. Which of the following is correct?
