Math Section: TEAS

[Jessica92]

Hi again everyone!

I just had another question regarding the infamous TEAS test. This time its about the math. Okay, is the math similar to the ATI study book? Math is my weak subject, and I am so worried about this part of the exam.

How was everyone else's experience with the math? Did you find it challenging? Thank you all for your help! I really appreciate it!

Hi! I was wondering if the work rate problem on the TEAS was extremely difficult? I am studying several different kids of work rates. I found some work rate problems using decimals but we are allowed to use calculators. This is the basic work rate question that I found. Ex: It takes Trevon ten hours to clean the attic. Cody can clean the attic in seven hours. Find how long I would take them if they worked together. This is easy however I found another one that asks to (find how long it would take for Paul to do it alone). This is the difficult one with decimals. Please help!

Hello, you can simply use this formula:

(This formula can be used in any type of problems similar to this one)

a x b / a + b

For example:

Let a = Trevon

Let b = Cody

So,

10 x 7 / 10 + 7 = 70/17 = 4.11~

For the latter, however, if you are not given all the variables, you can simply plug in the values they gave you.

For example:

Working together, Jenny and Natalie can mop a warehouse in 5.14 hours (In this case, you would set the whole equation equal to 5.14, since it's how long it would take if they worked together.) Had she done it alone, it would have taken Natalie 12 Hours. How long will it take Jenny to do it alone?

Let a = Jenny

Let b= Natalie

And.... finish up from there by using the formula
