If the perimeter of a rectangular house is 74 yards, and the length is 24 feet, what is the width of the house?
- A.
35 feet
- B.
29 yards
- C.
28 feet
- D.
15 yards
Correct Answer
B. 29 yardsExplanation
The perimeter of a rectangle is calculated by adding the lengths of all its sides. In this case, we are given that the perimeter is 74 yards. Since the length of the house is given in feet, we need to convert it to yards. There are 3 feet in 1 yard, so the length of the house is 24/3 = 8 yards. To find the width, we subtract the length from the perimeter: 74 - 8 - 8 = 58 yards. Therefore, the width of the house is 29 yards.Rate this question:

Larry bought a house for $120,000. After one year, its value appreciated (increased in value) by 25%. During the second year, its value depreciated (decreased in value) by 18% from its value at the end of the first year. What was the value of the house at the end of the second year?
- A.
$123,000
- B.
$3,960
- C.
$202,640
- D.
$120,000
Correct Answer
A. $123,000Explanation
The value of the house at the end of the second year is $123,000. This can be calculated by first finding the value of the house at the end of the first year, which is $120,000 + 25% of $120,000 = $150,000. Then, we calculate the value of the house at the end of the second year by taking 18% of $150,000 and subtracting it from $150,000, which gives us $150,000 - 18% of $150,000 = $123,000.Rate this question:

- D.
![TEAS Math - Practice #1 - Quiz]()
Correct Answer
B.Explanation
To find y in terms of x, we can substitute the given expression into the equation. So, we have:
x $ y = 3(y $ x)
Substituting the definition of $, we get:
x^2 - 4y^2 = 3(y^2 - 4x^2)
Expanding and rearranging the equation, we get:
x^2 - 4y^2 = 3y^2 - 12x^2
Combining like terms, we have:
4x^2 + 4y^2 = 0
Dividing both sides by 4, we get:
x^2 + y^2 = 0
Since the sum of squares cannot be negative, the only solution is x = 0 and y = 0. Therefore, y in terms of x is y = 0.Rate this question:

If 300 jellybeans cost you x dollars. How many jellybeans can you purchase for 30 cents at the same rate?
- A.
![TEAS Math - Practice #1 - Quiz]()
- B.
![TEAS Math - Practice #1 - Quiz]()
- C.
150x
- D.
6x
Correct Answer
B.Explanation
If 300 jellybeans cost x dollars, then the cost of each jellybean is x/300 dollars. To find out how many jellybeans can be purchased for 30 cents, we need to divide 30 cents by the cost of each jellybean. Since 1 dollar is equal to 100 cents, the cost of each jellybean is (x/300) * 100 cents. Dividing 30 cents by this value gives us (30 / ((x/300) * 100)) = (30 * 300) / (x * 100) = 9000 / (x * 100) jellybeans. Simplifying further, we get 90 / x jellybeans. Therefore, the correct answer is 90/x.Rate this question:

The circle, center O, has a radius of 8 inches. Find the length of the arc AB that subtends an angle of 63° at O (i.e. Angle AOB = 63°). Use π = 22/7
- A.
8 inches
- B.
8.8 inches
- C.
16 inches
- D.
17.6 inches
Correct Answer
B. 8.8 inchesExplanation
The length of an arc can be found by using the formula:
Arc length = (angle/360) * 2 * π * radius
In this case, the angle is given as 63° and the radius is given as 8 inches.
Plugging in these values into the formula, we get:
Arc length = (63/360) * 2 * (22/7) * 8
= (0.175) * (2) * (22/7) * 8
= 0.55 * 22 * 8
= 121.6 inches
Therefore, the length of the arc AB is 121.6 inches, which is not one of the given answer choices. Thus, the correct answer is not available.Rate this question:

Oxacillin (Prostaphlin), 500 mg. p.o. q6h, has been ordered for your client. Oxacillin comes in a suspension containing 250 mg/5 mL. How many total milliliters would you administer if the order calls for 14 days of therapy?
- A.
450 mL
- B.
650 mL
- C.
250 mL
- D.
560 mL
Correct Answer
D. 560 mLExplanation
The order is for 500 mg of oxacillin every 6 hours, and the suspension contains 250 mg/5 mL. To calculate the total volume needed for 14 days of therapy, we need to determine how many doses will be administered in 14 days. Since the medication is taken every 6 hours, there are 4 doses in a day (24 hours divided by 6 hours). Therefore, in 14 days, there will be a total of 56 doses (14 days multiplied by 4 doses per day). Each dose requires 5 mL of the suspension, so to calculate the total volume needed, we multiply 5 mL by 56 doses, which equals 280 mL. Therefore, the correct answer is 560 mL.Rate this question:

If your client is supposed to receive three 500-mL units of whole blood over the next 6 hours and the drip factor is 10 drops/mL, you’s adjust the rate to how many drops per minute?
- A.
42 drops
- B.
38 drops
- C.
56 drops
- D.
18 drops
Correct Answer
A. 42 dropsExplanation
To calculate the rate in drops per minute, we need to determine the total number of drops needed over 6 hours.
Each 500 mL unit of whole blood will have 500 mL * 10 drops/mL = 5000 drops.
Since the client is supposed to receive three units, the total number of drops needed is 3 * 5000 drops = 15000 drops.
To find the rate in drops per minute, we divide the total number of drops by the total time in minutes (6 hours * 60 minutes/hour = 360 minutes).
Therefore, the rate is 15000 drops / 360 minutes = 41.67 drops per minute. Rounded to the nearest whole number, the rate is 42 drops per minute.Rate this question:

A local football team season ticket sales have gone up 10% in the current season, reaching 880 tickets. How many season tickets were sold in the last season?
- A.
800
- B.
700
- C.
880
- D.
968
Correct Answer
A. 800Explanation
The correct answer is 800. Since the local football team's season ticket sales have gone up by 10% in the current season and reached 880 tickets, we can assume that this 10% increase is equivalent to 80 tickets. To find the number of season tickets sold in the last season, we need to subtract this increase from the current season's sales. Therefore, 880 - 80 = 800, indicating that 800 season tickets were sold in the last season.Rate this question:

The price of the book was decreased by 20% two times in one year. It now costs 180$ less than the original price. What was the original price?
- A.
259
- B.
450
- C.
500
- D.

Correct Answer
C. 500Explanation
The original price of the book was 500$. The price was decreased by 20% twice, resulting in a total decrease of 40%. This means that the book now costs 60% of its original price. If we let x represent the original price, we can set up the equation 0.6x = x - 180. Solving this equation, we find that x = 500. Therefore, the original price of the book was 500$.Rate this question:

If jogging for one mile uses 150 calories and brisk walking for one mile uses 100 calories, a jogger has to go how many times as far as a walker to use the same number of calories?
- A.
1/2
- B.
3/2
- C.
2
- D.
2/3
Correct Answer
D. 2/3Explanation
To find out how many times farther a jogger has to go compared to a walker to burn the same number of calories, we can set up a proportion. Let's say the distance the walker goes is x miles. The jogger would have to go 1 mile. The calories burned by the walker would be 100x, and the calories burned by the jogger would be 150. To set up the proportion: 100x/150 = 1/x. Cross multiplying gives us 100x^2 = 150. Dividing both sides by 100 gives us x^2 = 1.5. Taking the square root of both sides gives us x = √1.5. Therefore, the jogger has to go approximately 1.225 times farther than the walker. Since this is not an option, the closest answer is 2/3.Rate this question:
